There are no Selwyn Street Shops Master Plan actions currently being implemented.
The Selwyn Street Shops Master Plan sets out a community-agreed vision for Selwyn Street and the critical actions to achieve it. It was adopted by the Council in July 2012.
Local Selwyn Street residents appreciated their local centre and the convenient shopping and services it provided. They are now rebuilding their community following the earthquakes and the loss of much of its built heritage and the disruption to its retail and business life.
Taking care to plan Selwyn Street’s commercial centre post-earthquake is critical to ensure the centre will be the best it can be.
The process to identify stakeholders, key issues, community aspirations and develop the Selwyn Street Shops Master Plan began in July 2011. After technical expert workshops and community consultation, the master plan was endorsed by the Community Board before being adopted by the Council in July 2012.
The Selwyn Street Shops Master Plan contains a strategic vision to transform the centre into a prosperous, attractive place for people to live and visit, to spend time and to do business.
The vision is supported by five goals, which are to be delivered through nine detailed implementation actions/projects. 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 sections 2 and 6 of the Selwyn Street Shops Master Plan [PDF, 5.8 MB].
In the years following the adoption of the Selwyn Street Shops 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.
