Liveable community plans are about developing a vision for
the long-term future of Auckland city's communities as they grow and change.
Input from the community is fundamental to the development of the plan.
Newmarket has a liveable community plan already in place. It is called
Newmarket's future. The plan was developed through
extensive consultation with the community and adopted by council in September
2004.
Ever since people first came to the place we now call
Auckland, the area has grown and changed. By having a plan for the future, we
will be better able to manage growth and change sustainably.
A liveable community plan is a collaborative, comprehensive
framework for managing growth and development within an area that can
accommodate increased growth. These areas are called
areas of change. They are one way the council is implementing its
growth management strategy.
A liveable community plan allows us to identify the small
steps needed to achieve our bigger goals. It also gives us a framework around
which to prioritise funding and resources to the areas that need them first.
In addition to the community, Auckland City seeks the input
of the following kinds of organisations when developing a liveable community
plan:
- government providers of services such as education and health
- community organisations
- developers and financiers
- transport agencies.
The resulting vision could include ideas around:
- housing choice
- getting around (walk, bus, bike, train)
- retail and shops
- places of work (office, industry)
- rest, relaxation and recreation
- safety
- landscape, heritage and sense of place
- urban design.
The resulting plan will provide details about how
additional households and businesses will be provided for, what resources are
needed to maintain or improve the liveability of the area and the actions needed
to ensure that the physical and social infrastructure can cater for growth.
It will also include an action plan for making the vision a
reality.
This planning process takes time and investment. The
council will start liveable community plans in areas of change as resources
become available.
