Urban development
-
-
-
Urban development shapes the future of our communities.
Through urban development we
- improve our towns and cities to support changing populations
- enhance transportation systems to keep people moving
- balance economic growth with environmental sustainability.
Because Dunedin and Queenstown have large, growing populations, we need to have a plan on how we will manage these populations. We need to make sure that we can meet expected demand for housing and business - over the short, medium and long term.
Local authorities have to follow rules from the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020. Otago Regional Council (ORC) has worked with Dunedin City Council and is working with Queenstown Lakes District Council to create a Future Development Strategy.
The strategic documents will help both areas to plan for sustainable long-term growth and manage urban planning.
Future Development Strategy for Ōtepoti Dunedin
The Future Development Strategy for Ōtepoti Dunedin creates an outline for the city's growth over the next 10 years.
Future Development Strategy for Queenstown
ORC and QLDC are jointly developing an FDS for Queenstown. The FDS is intended to form part of the next generation of the Queenstown Lakes Spatial Plan (QLSP).
National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020
The National Policy Statement for Urban Development (NPS-UD) 2020 sets out the objectives and policies for planning for well-functioning urban environments under the Resource Management Act 1991.
