What is the Kaikōura
Spatial Plan?
The Kaikōura Spatial Plan is a strategic guide to shape the future development of the Kaikōura township. The Spatial Plan sets out where and how the district should grow and develop over the next 30 years. The extended time frame will enable the district to proactively address and plan for anticipated changes, ensuring that any development growth aligns with the values and aspirations of the community.
The Kaikōura Spatial Plan will play a crucial role in shaping future land use patterns and guiding decisions relating to new zoning within the Kaikōura District Plan. The Plan will be used not only to inform local initiatives but will also have potential to influence regional and central government investment decisions.
The Kaikōura Spatial Plan has been collaboratively produced, integrating diverse perspectives from a range of partners (i.e. Kaikōura District Council Councillors and Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura), landowners, stakeholders, and the community. This inclusive approach fostered the creation of a shared vision that sets expectations for future growth, development, and connectivity within the district’s townships and rural settlements.
