Leeston School - Minor Amendment

Overview

The Ministry of Education is proposing a minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of Leeston School.

The current written description for the Leeston School home zone does not make it clear whether both sides of the boundary roads are included. The map is already drawn to land parcel boundaries, however some land parcels have changed slightly since the map was last drawn. 

A minor amendment is therefore required to update the written description and map for the home zone to clarify boundaries and to identify more accurately which addresses should be considered in-zone. This will allow more accurate identification of in-zone addresses, particularly when using online search tools. The enrolment scheme wording will also be updated to reflect the Education and Training Act 2020.

The proposed commencement date of this minor amendment is 01 January 2024.
