Upper Hutt Structure Plan

This project is designed to develop an integrated spatial plan aligning land use and infrastructure for well-functioning city growth. Key objectives include defining a city vision, guiding growth principles, addressing gaps, promoting sustainability, and creating a cross-council action plan. The project follows Future Development Strategy (FDS) outcomes, with timelines tied to FDS approval.

Objectives

Our objective is to create a walkable, sustainable urban environment by analysing catchment areas, promoting active transport, and considering ecological and heritage constraints.
