Planning for the future of Rotorua - the Draft Spatial Plan

A young boy pointing to the sky, symbolising the children of today who will be the adults of the future. They are the ones who will be affected by the Spatial Plan we are working on in the present.

The Spatial Plan was adopted at the council meeting on 30 August 2018.

Our spatial plan helps us to plan how the city and district will grow, develop and change over a time horizon of 30+ years to deliver on Rotorua’s 2030 vision and goals.

Focusing on our vision for the future and recognising what is important to us as a community will help us shape a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable community and economy.

The aim of the spatial plan is to:

Provide one picture of where the district is heading and highlight significant and key areas for growth and change.
Provide a guide for investment decisions at a local, regional and central government level.
Identify the key issues facing the district and the priorities that need to be advanced to address these.
