>A key change is the removal of the Rototuna Town Centre zone from the Operative District Plan (our rule book for development). It would be replaced by existing business, community facilities, and open space zones already used elsewhere in the plan.

The council is putting out a plan change document and it doesn't really say what the impact will be.

If my memory is correct the town center concept was to make a place of centralized services and was supposed to serve as a hub to the community. Now the council wants to scrap it and replace it with.....sprawl? it's says they're not trying to improve "connections" but it doesn't say how

This change notice feels like it was written by someone trying to hide something.

The current zone is an unworkable mess. This is a fix up rezoning.

“Replace it with sprawl” I mean….
