Wellingtonians recently had the opportunity to provide feedback on the Draft Spatial Plan.
The Spatial Plan is essentially a ‘blueprint’ for the city and sets the direction for future development, and ultimately helps to re-write the District Plan. The Draft Spatial Plan and feedback on Planning for Growth engagement and consultations can be viewed on the Planning for Growth website.
We will want to know what you think about the draft District Plan in 2021, so please stay in touch. By taking part, you are helping us to make the right decisions for Our City Tomorrow.

Updates
June 2021
Councillors adopted the Spatial Plan on 24 June with a number of amendments.
There will be further work on the Plan to incorporate the amendments. The final plan and summary document will be on the Planning for Growth website once it's complete.
The Spatial Plan will guide the development and implementation of the Draft District Plan that will be released for consultation later this year/early next year.

Wellington urban region completes first housing and business capacity assessment
Five Wellington Councils have collaborated together to evaluate whether they are able to meet growth pressures until 2047.
The 30-year assessment looks at Wellington’s urban District Councils (Wellington, Hutt City, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and Kapiti) in order to capture whether current and future growth areas would be able to cater for residential and business growth between 2017 and 2047 in the face of ongoing demand pressures. This is known as the Housing and Business Development Capacity Assessment (or simply HBA).
