Detailed design and planning for a future Ōmokoroa Town Centre can now officially commence as there have been no appeals to the granting of a resource consent.
Resource consent was granted for the project on May 10 by independent commissioners appointed by the Western Bay of Plenty Council.
The deadline to lodge an appeal to Environment Court expired on May 31.
JACE Group director Craig Lemon said he was pleased they can now proceed with certainty on planning and preparing the 5.3ha site, at 404 Omokoroa Rd, for development.
