Ngāmotu New Plymouth City Centre Strategy

Current projects and news

The current proposed projects for the Ngāmotu New Plymouth City Centre Strategy are being considered as part of our 10-Year Plan for 2024-2034.

We’re proposing to invest $10.3m over the next seven years  in the first stage of developing the city centre as a place for locals and visitors to work, shop, dine and play, with greener, safer, pedestrian-friendly routes.

Feedback on our 10-year Plan closed 5pm, Friday 19 April 2024.

Devon Street Trees

New Plymouth city centre is in for a makeover as some of Devon Street’s aging alder trees make way for new native plant areas.

Eleven alder trees will be removed between Robe and Brougham streets in March-April 2025 and another 11 will go east of Brougham Street in March-April 2026.

The new planting areas, using native trees and plants that are part of our coastal heritage, will be guided by the Devon Street Masterplan and contribute to the Ngāmotu New Plymouth City Centre Strategy vision for a family-friendly city centre where people want to shop, stop and enjoy.

Huatoki Masterplan

Opening up the Huatoki is one of five key moves for a vibrant and sustainable City Centre

The Huatoki Masterplan would map out the development a series of open, green public spaces from the Coastal Walkway to Vivian Street.

Work on the Huatoki Masterplan is due/has commenced (in FY24) with a delivery time of up to a year.

An early outcome would be to enliven the Huatoki Plaza with planting, seating and other street furniture.
