Data that underlines the central city’s role as the main economic, social and cultural hub of the region, and emphasises its capacity for further high density apartment development and commercial growth. The growth spine is anchored by Johnsonville and Kilbirnie town centres. These are Wellington’s largest centres outside the central city, and have the ability to support more intensive residential and mixed-use development. The city’s other suburban centres provide for a mix of residential, commercial, social and cultural activities, with more intensive types of housing encouraged in suburban locations with good supporting transport and other infrastructure. New greenfield residential growth is provided for in the city’s northern growth areas.Map includes:Central City growth precinctGrowth Centres (Kilbirnie, Newtown, Johnsonville, Karori, Miramar, Tawa)Potential medium density areas (Newlands, Island Bay, Crofton Downs, Berhampore, Khandallah)Greenfield areas (Stebbings and Lincolnshire)Link to Urban Development and Transport Strategy: https://wellington.govt.nz/~/media/your-council/plans-policies-and-bylaws/plans-and-policies/a-to-z/wgtn-urban-growth/wgtn-urban-growth-plan2015.pdf |
