Lyttelton fulfils an important service centre role for the other communities around Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour.
Lyttelton’s land-based transport links, commercial centre, community facilities, heritage buildings and character were severely affected by the 22 February 2011 earthquake and warranted the preparation of a master plan to guide its recovery and rebuild.
The process to identify stakeholders, key issues, community aspirations and develop the Lyttelton Master Plan began in April 2011. After technical workshops and community consultation, the master plan was endorsed by the Community Board before being adopted by the Council in June 2012.
The Lyttelton Master Plan contains a strategic vision to transform Lyttelton into a quality place for businesses to operate in, and people to work, live, shop, socialise and play.
The vision is supported by nine goals, which are to be delivered through thirty-one detailed implementation actions. These encourage Council, private sector, community and government-led decision-making to align and move forward together in a logical sequence.
The vision, goals and actions are described in detail in Section 4 of the Lyttelton Master Plan [PDF, 3.3 MB].
In the years following the adoption of the Lyttelton Master Plan, actions have been implemented where possible. The context for these continues to change and this has influenced decisions by the Council, other organisations and private individuals.
