Stratford Structure Plan
About the Project The Stratford Structure Plan will provide a 20 year ‘strategic vision’ to guide future growth, infrastructure, local services, and better connectivity to define the preferred direction for future growth and how change will be managed.
Structure Plans aim to provide a long-term framework to guide sustainable development within townships, specifying what type of growth can be achieved.
The Stratford Structure Plan will be used as the basis to support formal changes to the Wellington Planning Scheme through revised planning provisions, to facilitate the implementation of the Plan’s land use recommendations for further information you can visit the planning projects page.

A Structure Plan is a plan for how a town or area will grow and develop in the future. It sets a vision and goals for things like housing, roads, parks, and buildings, helping to shape the area in the future. The Stratford Structure Plan is looking at the next 20 years and whilst some ideas or parts of the community's vision may land outside of Council's control there is opportunity in a Structure Plan to enable growth which can support the community's vision.
