The Wairarapa-Wellington-Horowhenua Future Development Strategy describes how, through working together we will deliver well-functioning urban environments in our existing and future towns and cities and provide enough development capacity in the next 30 years to meet at least the expected demand. In particular it identifies where future housing and business development should occur by outlining: 

  • broad locations for homes and businesses, and the social and physical infrastructure needed to support them. 

  • the areas we should not develop, so that we can limit risks to our communities and infrastructure and protect our taonga.
