A Spatial Plan for Wellington City

An integrated land-use and transport strategy.

The Spatial Plan was approved in 2021. It is a growth strategy that sets out a plan of action for where and how the city should grow and develop over the next 30 years.

The Spatial Plan seeks to shape our city by considering a range of topics relating to the city’s growth including land use, transport, three waters infrastructure, natural hazards, heritage, and natural environment values.

The Spatial Plan feeds into other policy decisions and helped shape the regulatory framework for land use in Wellington City’s new District Plan.

With the 2024 District Plan now operative in part the Council has instructed officers to update the Spatial Plan.

This update will help the Council prioritise investment for things like transport, new community facilities and infrastructure upgrades to support the growth enabled by the 2024 District Plan.

More information on the Spatial Plan update will be available by November 2024.
