The Placemaking Plans – Te Whakakaupapa Whaitua

The Placemaking Plans – Te Whakakaupapa Whaitua tie together our planning, infrastructure, transport and regulatory tools for each location. Each plan identifies actions that will be part of our future Council work programmes. 

Meaningful engagement with the community and stakeholders has been critical to the development of the plans. You can read the feedback summary reports of community and tangata whenua engagement along with the Placemaking Plans below.
