Nelson, New Zealand, expanded urban development on Oct. 21, 2025, allowing taller buildings and housing in the city center.
Plan Change 29 in Nelson, New Zealand, took effect on October 21, 2025, enabling expanded housing and economic development in the city center.
The changes extend the Inner-City Fringe Zone south along Vanguard and St Vincent Streets, replacing the former Industrial Zone, and raise building height limits from 15–20 meters to 24 meters in key areas, with adjustments near heritage and hazard-sensitive zones.
Residential development is now permitted in these zones, supported by a new design framework and updated natural hazard provisions for flood, fault, and liquefaction risks.
Revised land use rules also support the Manuka Street hospital site.
Though one appeal was filed over the rejection of Medium and General Residential Zones, the approved changes are legally binding and enforceable under the Resource Management Act, allowing immediate implementation to advance urban revitalization.
