Taunakitanga | RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Paekākāriki Community Board:

A. Note the overview of the Town Centre Planning Project.

B. Note the proposed next steps to support the development of Town Centre Principles and Plans.

Tūāpapa | Background

2 Town Centre Planning is a component of Vision Kāpiti. Vision Kāpiti is a three-stage project which provides a coordinated community-led approach to Council’s planning and development, by reflecting community needs to 2060 and beyond.

2.1 Vision Kāpiti, Stage One is now complete, which focused on engagement to determine the needs and aspirations of our communities for the future.

2.2 Vision Kāpiti, Stage Two is now underway, focusing on creating pathways based on community feedback, which will help inform the development of plans including for town centres in the district into the medium to long term.

3 The Paekākāriki Local Centre project is not confined exclusive to the current zoned area, it will include consideration of areas on the perimeters of the Paekākāriki Local Centre to ensure integration and alignment, as well as whether there are changes required in the current zoned areas.

4 The images below outline the current zoning for the Paekākāriki Local Centre shaded in pink.

5 The project will also take into consideration the impacts and changes the new expressways and other significant infrastructure have had on Town Centres and the role they now play. This includes changing community needs, such as the way in which people work, live, socialise and commute.

6 The Town Centre Planning Project is being progressed in several stages:

6.1 The initial first tranche of Town Centre Plans will focus on the Paraparaumu, Waikanae and Ōtaki Town Centres.

6.2 The second tranche of Town Centre Plans will focus on the Paekākāriki, Raumati, and Paraparaumu Beach Town Centres.

He take | issues

7 To support this process, Council has engaged McIndoe Urban, experienced urban planners to help guide and undertake the development of the plans for each of the town centres. Property Economics have also been engaged to undertake an economic analysis of each of the town centres and understand current and future demand for retail, commercial and other space, as well as provide commentary on economic performance and viability.

8 While the initial stages of the project will focus primarily on desktop analysis and understanding the current state, the next steps will be focused on external engagement. The project will involve mana whenua and targeted partner and stakeholder engagement through collaborative co-design spatial planning, aligning local visions with spatial, economic, housing, identity, planning, and funding parameters. Community drop-in sessions are also being planned.

9 Proposed partners and stakeholder groups include:

· Ātiawa ki Whakarongotai

· Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki

· Ngāti Toa Rangatira

· Developers and investors

· Businesses (including property owners)

· Community Boards

· Disability Advisory Group
