This bill will allow the right process to be followed and is a transformative step to tidying up the various pieces of legislation. It also allows the correct process and for Palmerston North City Council to follow the consultation process, to hear the wider views of local residents. It will be the progressive first step to allow the council to move forward in whatever its decision is around housing development. Currently, there is no power of sale in the Palmerston North Reserves Act 1922, and, at present, we've heard Palmerston North City Council is promoting this local bill to amend the Palmerston North Reserves Empowering Act 1966.
