Tauranga City Council was approached by developer Celt Saxon Corp, to develop the site on the corner of Sherson Street and Chadwick Road as a Special Housing Area.
The proposed development is expected to yield 71 two- and three-bedroom townhouses and a three-level apartment building containing 59 two-bedroom units.
The site is currently zoned for industrial development. The site is bounded by existing houses to the north and south and the Kopurererua Valley to the west. Its large size and walking distance to the Greerton Town Centre make it suitable for a more intensive form of residential development.
On 14 August 2017, the Minister for Building and Construction approved this Special Housing Area.
More information on this proposal and the context is in the consultation document below. Detailed information on the proposed development is available in Celt Saxon Corp’s development proposal, including concept plans and height/overshadowing diagrams.
