The Spatial Plan was completed after being adopted by Councillors on 24 June 2021.
There were number of amendments to the plan that were incorporated into the final plan.
The Spatial Plan is essentially a growth strategy for our city that sets out a plan of action for where and how we should grow and develop over the next 30 years.
The Spatial Plan helps 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.
We’ve implemented many of the proposals in the Spatial Plan through the new District Plan policies, rules and guidance.
