Rotorua is growing and our community urgently needs more homes and more housing options. Council is acting now to respond to that demand.
To address the growing demand, Council is preparing a Housing Plan Change with a focus on enabling more housing in the urban areas of Rotorua.
To support this work, Council is also developing a Future Development Strategy to set out the long term picture of where growth should occur, in what form and what infrastructure will be needed to support that growth.
As further support, to protect the city and the lifestyle we all love, a Design Guide will also be developed to encourage sustainable and efficient growth, while protecting our environment and cultural values.
Council acknowledges the importance of partnering with mana whenua to ensure the values and principles of Te Arawa underpin all conversations about growth, housing, wellbeing and the environment.
