Southern Marlborough
The Council engaged consultants Urbanismplus to help develop strategy for growth and development, along with sister strategies for Blenheim Town Centre and Northern Marlborough.
Significant consultation has taken place in devising these plans and comments made through submissions in the public consultation will inform the recomendations made to the incoming Council which will consider the final document.
This strategy seeks to inform Long Term Council Community Plans, Annual Plans and the Marlborough Regional Policy Statement and Resource Management Plan by simultaneously integrating their information requirements with community input. This approach has been successfully applied elsewhere in New Zealand for this purpose, and is an efficient method of improving future plans and ensuring their alignment and that they address public aspirations.
There will be further opportunities for public comment on many of the proposals as they are integrated into these documents in the future.
