July 22, 2026Ashburton, Marlborough, North Canterbury, West CoastA proposal to convert a North Canterbury golf course into housing has not been accepted into the Fast-track approvals process – yet. Wolfbrook Property Group informed the Waimakariri District Council on June 25 of its intention to use the Fast-track process to seek residential zoning for the Pegasus Golf Course. It has led to speculation on social media the Fast-track process is already under way. The golf course is subject to a special purpose zoning, which recognises its role as a key amenity and defining feature of Pegasus. ‘‘Simply, rezoning the Pegasus Golf Course for housing is neither appropriate to the community nor necessary to enable additional housing supply.’’
