A structure plan provides a long term framework for the future growth and development of a particular area. The Council is presently working on the structure plans for Tuakau and Ngaaruawaahia.
Ngaaruaawahia Structure Plan
A Structure plan is a guiding framework for the development or redevelopment of an area that will help define the future development and land use patterns, areas of open space, the layout and nature of infrastructure (including transportation links), constraints and key features that influence the effects of development are also considered and managed.
This version of the Ngaaruawaahia Structure Plan is the 2017 version and has out of date components, see advisory note below:
Waikato District Council adopted the Ngaaruawaahia, Hopuhopu, & Taupiri Structure Plan / Ngaaruawaahia Town Centre Plan on the 21st of October 2024. Information contained within the Ngaaruawaahia Structure Plan – 2017 relating to Ngaaruawaahia, Hopuhopu, & Taupiri has been superseded by this most recent adoption.
You can find the updated reports here.
However, if you are after information pertaining to Glen Massey, Horotiu or Te Kowhai the information on this page still applies.”
Note: Because there are two active plans (Operative Waikato District Plan & Proposed Waikato District Plan – Appeals Version) these Plans and Design Guidelines may still be required for use under the Operative Waikato District Plan. This depends on whether there are any appeals on the relevant provisions in the Proposed Waikato District Plan (appeals version).
