FAQs
Q. Why was this area selected as needing a master plan?
A. Following the February 2011 earthquake a number of suburban commercial centres across the city suffered varying degrees of damage and disruption. Some of these centres require coordinated regeneration planning and support so that the centres are restored as focal points for local communities.
The Council has initiated a suburban regeneration project to support these areas, and create investor and community confidence in the affected suburban centres.
Community boards met in May to discuss which centres would be suitable for a master plan and which would benefit for a case management approach, with the vast majority of centres in the case management workstream.
The commercial areas centred around the shopping centre on the corner of Stanmore Road and Worcester street (‘Linwood Village’) was identified as requiring a master plan approach.
Q. How can residents be involved in the programme?
A. The Council wants the community, business sector and residents to be part of the process and have their say.
A timeline around these projects, including community briefings/stakeholder workshops and implementation has been developed.
