The spatial layout of Jacks Point is managed through a structure plan which has been conceived through a rigorous study of the underlying natural and physical resources. A key outcome of this work was to unify the three separate structure plans and associated provisions for Homestead Bay, Jacks Point and Hanley Downs into one set of integrated provisions for the management of the area.

In preparing the new plan provisions for Jacks Point, we sought to streamline the consenting process to focus on achieving a high quality of urban and built form outcomes, so as to deliver housing and development more quickly. The new framework relies on non-regulatory processes to a much greater extent.

For the community, we have been responsible for delivering on major areas of new urban intensification, enabling a greater diversity of housing typologies, and creating streamlined provisions to facilitate quality urban development.

Our role: Boffa Miskell have been involved throughout the plan change process from inception through to Council hearings, and now into the appeal phase providing planning and landscape advice. This work has flowed into a range of developments that seek to implement the structure plan and District Plan outcomes through consents, most notably the review of the Outline Development Plan for the Jacks Point Village and subsequent subdivision.
