Selwyn residents are encouraged to share their thoughts in the consultation for Greater Christchurch’s Draft Spatial Plan, which closes soon.

The draft plan provides a blueprint for how future population and business growth will be accommodated in the Greater Christchurch area over the next several decades.

It has been developed by the Whakawhanake Kāinga Komiti (Urban Growth Partnership for Greater Christchurch), following strong community input during the Huihui Mai — let’s come together engagement earlier this year. More than 7,000 responses to the Huihui Mai survey were received with 20% of those coming from Selwyn residents.

The survey provided clear signals on ways Greater Christchurch could grow to meet the needs of current and future generations and address challenges of population growth, housing affordability and climate change. People are now being asked if the plan is on the right track.

The Draft Spatial Plan can be viewed, and submissions can be made online before 23 July.
