Progress on the Spatial Plan
We are currently engaged in the review of submissions regarding the Spatial Plan for Port Tarakohe.
Early 2024, the Council conducted a round of engagement with iwi, port users, and the community concerning a draft Issues and Options paper. This paper was informed by community feedback on previous proposed developments. This was followed late last year with further community engagement on the draft Spatial Plan.
Next steps
The finalized Spatial Plan will include a comprehensive list of actions and projects required to meet the objectives for Port Tarakohe. These actions, such as the development of the reserve management plan, will detail the necessary steps and specific areas of focus for the port.
Some projects are already underway, such as drafting plan changes. Others are scheduled to commence in the next financial year, while some will be incorporated into the Long-Term Plan.
Future engagement
Although the call for submissions has closed, there will be ongoing opportunities for community feedback on specific projects as they develop. We are committed to keeping you informed and involved in the process as we move forward with the Spatial Plan for Port Tarakohe.
