Growth Scenarios
In April and May 2019, 1,372 people made a submission on the future shape of their city. In addition, 773 of you responded to a Planning for Growth Facebook survey, and 250 high school students made their views clear by giving the different growth scenarios a big thumbs up, or thumbs down.
The numbers are in, you had your say, and now we know what you want for your city tomorrow.
A breakdown on all submissions and more details on all feedback received can be viewed on the following pages and is outlined in our final report
Our job now is to create a spatial plan which sets the direction for future development, and ultimately helps to re-write the District Plan.
