Introduction
The Ferry Road / Main Road corridor from the city to the sea is important to local communities and the wider city. It has been identified as a priority for master planning to assist with earthquake recovery.
The Council is beginning with the area between the city (Fitzgerald Avenue) and Ferrymead bridge.
The other portion of Ferry Road / Main Road will be addressed at a later date.

Community workshops and focus group sessions completed
More than 200 people took part in Council-led Suburban Centres Programme focus group and drop-in sessions on the recovery of Ferry Road/Main Road corridor. The sessions were organised to help the Council find out local knowledge and gather information vital to the recovery and rebuild of the Ferry Road/Main Road corridor, a key arterial that connects the city to the sea.
Feedback from focus group and drop-in sessions October 2011
Suburban Centres Programme 'inquiry by design' workshop
The 'inquiry by design' workshop
A wide range of information gathered at these Council-led sessions has been used in the ‘design element’ of the master plan process, which provided an opportunity for Council staff to discuss how suggestions and ideas from the community could work, and test them against current best practice. Ideas and options will be presented in the draft Master Plan in early 2012.
