Spatial Plans – Plan the future of your town

A spatial plan is a roadmap for land use, infrastructure and the environment and for how we live over the next 30 years or more.

It guides the development of spaces, places and connectivity, growth, and cultural and community values alongside investment priorities. It aims to provide a strategic view as to where new homes, businesses, parks, roads and other infrastructure might go to support a vibrant community.

NPDC is partnering with local communities to develop spatial plans for Waitara, Puketapu-Bell Block and Inglewood.

Waitara Spatial Plan

The Waitara Spatial Plan project is a partnership with Manukorihi and Otaraua Hapū. Work has been underway with discussions and input with community groups and organisations throughout Waitara through workshops, public events, markets, online surveys and other activities.

Consultation for Tiritiri o Mātangi: the Draft Waitara Spatial Plan is open. We encourage everyone to find out more about the project and have your say here

Feedback on the draft plan closes on Friday 12 September 2025.

Follow Waitara Community Board on Facebook for the latest news on the project.

Puketapu-Bell Block Spatial Plan

Work on the Puketapu-Bell Block Spatial Plan is planned to start in September 2025 with opportunities for residents to help shape a vision for their community.
