Description: Wellington needs more homes. We expect around 80,000 more people to be living in Wellington by 2043. We are already looking at ways to house more people in the central city. We're considering how to create more homes in areas, including the central city and a new community further north.Lincolnshire Farm is strategically located between State Highways 1 and 2, close to all three major Wellington urban centres of Porirua, Hutt Valley and Wellington City. The structure plan area is roughly the area bound by State Highway 1, Grenada North, Woodridge / Newlands and Horokiwi ridge. This approximately 400 hectare area is the largest remaining opportunity for greenfield development in Wellington City and one of largest and most strategically located in the whole Wellington region.More infomation: https://wellington.govt.nz/~/media/your-council/plans-policies-and-bylaws/district-plan/volume01/files/v1chap28app1.pdf?la=en

We're considering how to create more homes in areas, including the central city and a new community further north.We're creating a high-level plan for the future of the Upper Stebbings Valley and Glenside West area – how it might look, what people will need and what facilities should be provided. The plan will include things like transport, housing density, parks and reserves, water management and resilience. It will be approved by Councillors before work is done to include it in the District Plan.For more information on the project: https://wellington.govt.nz/your-council/projects/proposed-upper-stebbings-valley-community

Description: The harbour and surrounding hills provide a distinct natural setting that shapes the Central City’s urban form. This topography forms a compact city structure that concentrates a variety of complementary activities within the city centre.As the commercial heart of Wellington and the wider region and the nation's seat of Government the city centre is a vibrant mix of inner city living, entertainment, educational and commercial activity. It is also a major employment hub, absorbing around 70%1 of the city's overall workforce and occupying more than 1.6 million square metres2 of existing commercial floor space.A mix of people, uses, places and spaces has resulted in the area having a distinctive identity and appeal – this is characterised by the diversity of the areas that contribute to its make-up: PipiteaParliament & surroundsWellington CentralWaterfrontTe Aro The central city contains the highest concentration of Wellington’s most visually prominent and architecturally diverse and heritage buildings, many of which accommodate a variety of uses ranging from commercial offices to residential apartments. The area is currently home to a resident population of around 20,000 people3 living in a mix of standalone (10%), medium density (5%) and high density (77%)4 housing.

Description: -The commercial and government sectors are the primary drivers of business demand in the city.-The city is projected to require an additional 787,277 sq meters of business floor area over the period 2017 – 2047.-Wellington City has a number of business areas that cater for a range of activities, often with elements of mixed use residential development.-The main source of capacity is the CBD with over 3 million sq meters of floor are available under the redevelopment calculation utilized for this modelling.-The assessment has identified a lack of true land vacancy across the existing business areas of the city. However, the Lincolnshire Form business area is still to be developed offering the city significant vacant space for business growth.Link to assessment: https://planningforgrowth.wellington.govt.nz/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/3282/Wellington-Regional-HBA-Chpt-2-Wellington-City-Council.pdf

Like other well-connected cities, we plan to support our sustainable transport hierarchy by encouraging walking, cycling and public transport over other modes of transport. However, cars will continue to be a necessary option for many people in a balanced transport system. The car can provide flexibility for many journeys but can also be inefficient, requiring parking space and creating congestion, especially at peak times. Our role is to make sure these transport choices are balanced and integrated to support the way we want the city to grow. This includes encouraging developments that will see more people living and working near major public transport routes and centres.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Map data includes:</SPAN></SPAN></P><UL STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;padding:0 0 0 0;"><LI><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Bus Priority Spine</SPAN></SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Cycle Network</SPAN></SPAN></P></LI><LI><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Rail Connections (simplified)</SPAN></SPAN></P></LI></UL><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Link to Urban Development and Transport Strategy: </SPAN></SPAN><A href="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" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>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</SPAN></SPAN></A></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: 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

Description: We want our future population to have access to quality open space in the right locations - private, shared or a combination. This will be particularly important where higher density apartment or townhouse development is anticipated. Although the city already benefits from an extensive green network of parks, reserves and play spaces, we will also need to ensure that they continue to support our growing communities and are upgraded and suitably developed to meet anticipated demand. In locations where higher density housing is proposed, such as the Central City, we will need to think innovatively about how we can provide adequate usable outdoor space for residents – this may involve use of shared space or roof gardens.

Description: Wellington’s natural environment is unique, with much of the City’s distinctive identity, its ‘sense of place’, reflected in its open space and natural areas. The City has an extensive network of open space and natural areas embedded within the city structure and Inner Town Belt, running out through the suburbs to the Outer Green Belt and beyond into our rural hinterland. The network encompasses a wide variety of environments - from coastal habitats to hilltops and from native bush to playing fields and parks available to passive and active recreational users.Our natural environment encompasses a wide variety of areas with recreational, ecological, landscape and natural heritage values - reserves, the Inner Town Belt and Outer Green Belt, coastal areas, sports fields, playgrounds and other outdoor recreation facilities – most of which are in public ownership.Layer includes data for:Inner Town Belt.Outer Green Belt.Wellington Botanic Gardens.Otari-Wilsons BushZealandia (Karori Wildlife Sanctuary)Sport and Recreation reserves.City, suburb and neighbourhood reserves.

Description: We want Wellington to be a city where we have healthy, affordable homes in connected and lively neighbourhoods, close to the places we live, work and play. It is important that we provide for a variety of housing type, so that everyone has an opportunity to own or rent a quality home in the city.Since 2000 population growth in Wellington has outstripped the number of dwellings constructed and this trend is set to continue. We are already feeling the effects of high house prices and high rents; it is also increasingly difficult for first home buyers to purchase a home.Over the next 30 years we will need between 25,000 and 32,000 new dwellings to meet our projected growth demands. However, under current planning settings it is estimated the city will only have capacity for 20,000 dwellings over this time horizon, leaving a shortfall of between 5,000 and 12,000 dwellings.The Regional Housing and Business Capacity Assessment Report takes a 30-year look at Wellington’s urban District Councils (Wellington, Hutt City, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and Kapiti Coast) capacity for housing and business. The report estimates that based on predicted population growth across the five districts, and current development controls and patterns, the region faces a shortfall of approximately 9,000 to 21,000 dwellings. Without action, Wellington City will face a shortfall of between 4,600 and 12,000 dwellings by 2047.The Wellington City Residential Catchments have been created by grouping together areas of the city that form logical housing catchments i.e. the southern suburbs vs. the eastern suburbs. They represent clearer sub-markets of the city in which the demand and supply of different typologies can be contrasted at a more detailed level.The demand, capacity, and difference values in the dataset summarise the projected dwellings information of chapter 2, section 4 of the Wellington Regional Housing and Business Development Capacity report. It is recommended this section is reviewed while using this data.Wellington Regional Housing and Business Development Capacity - Chapter 2 - Wellington City Council is available on the Planning for Growth website: https://planningforgrowth.wellington.govt.nz/resources1/documents

Description: The areas shown represent the districts included in the Wellington Regional Growth Framework. This includes the Greater Wellington Region and Horowhenua District.There are now a total of 67 territorial authorities in New Zealand. This updated total reflects the amalgamation of the seven territorial authorities (Rodney District, North Shore City, Waitakere City, AucklandCity, Manukau City, Papakura District and Franklin District) into one new Auckland Council in 2010.Territorial authorities are the second tier of local government in New Zealand, below regional councils. The 67 territorial authorities comprise: 12 city councils, 53 district councils, the Auckland Council and the Chatham Islands Territory. Six territorial authorities (Auckland Council, Nelson City Council, Gisborne , Tasman , and Marlborough District Councils) also perform the functions of a regional council and thus are known as unitary authorities. Chatham Islands Territory undertakes only some of the functions of a regional council, and is therefore not a unitary authority. Territorial authority districts are not subdivisions of regions, and some of them fall within more than one region. Taupo District has the distinction of straddling the boundaries of four diffe access and administer local roading and reserves, sewerage, building consents, the land use and subdivision aspects of resource management, and other local matters.rent regions.
