Alan Watson has been appointed by Thames-Coromandel District Council to chair a hearing panel to consider a private plan change request from Wharekaho Beach Developments Ltd for a structure plan that will permit 111 lots to be developed at Wharekaho.
The November Council meeting decided that Mr Watson will be joined by two members of Council's Judicial Committee on the hearings panel and that the panel will have delegated authority to make a decision on the proposed private plan change, rather than make recommendations to the full Council as has been the custom in the past.
The hearing is to be held in Thames on November 30.
