Maymorn Structure Plan
The submission period has now closed
At an Extraordinary meeting of Council held on Thursday 2nd February 2012, Council adopted the Maymorn Structure Plan and resolved to commence development of a change to the Upper Hutt District Plan to give effect to the Maymorn Structure Plan.
Considerable background work has been undertaken to draft the Maymorn Structure Plan. It has been prepared to guide the future residential development of the city in the Maymorn area, as a response to the expected population growth in Upper Hutt. The project was identified by the Upper Hutt Urban Growth Strategy completed in 2007.

Background
|
|
|
|
The proposed Maymorn Structure Plan is the result of significant strategic work planning for the future growth of Upper Hutt.
The Plan will provide for medium-term growth by accommodating approximately 1800 dwellings with the population at Maymorn expected to exceed 4000 people over a 10 to 20 year period from the commencement of construction.
|
The proposed development would occupy the north-eastern corner of the Mangaroa Valley, bounded by the Mangaroa River and surrounding hillside. It has been designed to respect the rural amenities surrounding the site.
The Plan has been developed with an urban design focus, drawing on key urban design and sustainability principles, with varying housing densities proposed. It responds to natural areas and the landscape by seeking to protect and enhance waterways and surrounding hills. Density has been planned in order to respect and transition the development into the surrounding rural areas.
