Things are looking bright for the district. Concept plans for the towns have been a great starting point but now Hurunui District Council planning changes and new subdivisions have given the district a solid way forward.
Amberley in particular is attracting significant interest from developers.
The Hurunui District Council has actively promoted a number of planning changes to help encourage and support business and industrial growth in Amberley. A new business zone has been introduced and a industrial zone created.
Developments in Amberley to keep an eye on include:
Brackenfields – a new supermarket and shopping complex is scheduled for completion late 2012 which promises to become a retail and commercial hub for all of North Canterbury. Brackenfields also includes two subdivisions, the first of which, Oakfields will be available this year.
Wineberry Estate - 25 lots on Courage Road, Amberley.
Gore Bay also looks set to see some development because of a private plan change. The Buxton Gore Bay development is 7kms away from Cheviot and offers amazing views of the Pacific Ocean.
Hanmer Springs is set in a high country basin, 385m above sea level. There is never a dull moment, with plenty to do. Hanmer Springs is known as a great holiday location. Current developments include St Helens Gate, a 10 Lot subdivision on Fraser Close.
