approximately 300 to 350 residential sections and represents an important opportunity
to support future housing choice and well-planned residential growth in the region.

Chief Executive Officer Jason Adams said the referral decision is a positive step for the
project and provides an important pathway for CDI’s Hawke’s Bay development
pipeline.

“We are pleased the Minister has accepted the referral application and recognised the
regional benefits of the Middle Road Project, which will increase the supply of well-
planned residential land, support future housing choice in Havelock North and
contribute to regional economic activity over time,” said Mr Adams.

collaboratively with councils, iwi, technical experts and other stakeholders as the project
