Planning for the future - have your say

From City Scene, published on 5 April, 2009.

Delivered along with your City Scene you will receive a copy of the Future Planning Framework that looks at how and where development should occur in your area. Ten area plans have been developed for the isthmus, sitting under an overarching citywide plan.

Following community input, the plans will form the basis for a revised isthmus district plan, due for review in 2010. You are encouraged to give your feedback before Friday, 8 May.

As well as reading about the plan for your area, you can see the whole picture by visiting It's my backyard - a special website that gives more information and accepts feedback and comment.

Look out also for displays and presentations by council officers at shopping malls and local libraries.

A list of dates and venues can be found under public notices.
