What is the City Centre Framework?
The City Centre Framework was adopted by Council in July 2025. The Framework captures the current ambitions of Council, Mana Whenua, businesses and the community. It:
- responds to the latest designs for Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi (formerly RiverLink) works within the city centre.
- sets out the vision, values, outcomes, key moves and initiatives that will inform Council decision-making and guide private sector development.
- looks ahead 15 years to 2040 with a thriving city centre.
- paves the way for City Centre Street upgrades, a new Riverside Park, Daly Street Redevelopment and other activities to create a vibrant, people-focused and economically resilient city centre.
