Woodend Development Strategy

Woodend Development Strategy

‘Woodend Futures’ is an urban development project which recognises the need for a plan for the future of Woodend.

It brings together growth issues including the State Highway alignment, linkages with Pegasus Town, development of Gladstone Park, Woodend East Roading alignments, and Woodend growth as allowed under the Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy.

It is about balancing and integrating all of these factors to ensure a desirable town to live in that provides amenities of an appropriate standard and accessibility for the community.

The Waimakariri District Council first began talking to the community about this project a little over a year ago.

Following the community’s input the Council commissioned a report by an independent consultant (UrbanismPlus) into the options for urban form and growth directions for Woodend to meet the desired outcomes.

The three growth options have been summarised in a pamphlet being sent to every household in Woodend and within 500 metres of the town boundary.

It contains the key maps from the consultants report illustrating potential growth directions, the locations of proposed State Highway alignments, and the roading options for east Woodend.

A second consultants report detailing roading options for East Woodend has also been prepared. A separate map illustrating these roading options is attached as an overlay to the Woodend Futures flyer.

A feedback form with a series of questions is included.

Members of the community are invited to obtain a copy of the consultants report from any of our Service Centres should they feel they need further information to help them form an opinion on a preferred direction for growth.

Council staff are also offering to attend meetings of local groups and will be hosting a public meeting where members of the community can ask any questions or seek clarification of the information we have provided.

Submissions will remain open until 14 December.


Copies of the flyer and feedback form, and the consultants reports are available from the Waimakariri District Council’s Customer Services phone 03 313 6136 or 03 327 6834 (tollfree) or can be downloaded here.
