Riccarton Racecourse Development Enabling Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This Bill is companion legislation to a local Bill to be known as the Riccarton Racecourse Bill. Together, the 2 Bills will provide the necessary authorisations required to enable some 40 hectares of the Riccarton Racecourse in Christchurch to be developed for housing.
