Northern Marlborough Urban Growth Strategy Decision Meetings

The Northern Marlborough Urban Growth and Development strategy has progressed through the strategy development and public consultation phases, and the Council is now ready to make decisions on the final strategy prior to its implementation. The strategy sought to identify how and where residential and industrial growth should take place, and also amenity issues, such as traffic speed, open space and infrastructure, that should be resolved to make each place a better place to live.

The decision meetings are scheduled to take place on Friday 4, Monday 14, and Monday 21 November, from 9.00 am at the District Administration Building in Seymour Street, Blenheim. Public are invited to attend.
