Growing Marlborough District Wide Strategy
This report provides the strategic overview of the comprehensive planning and design work undertaken for Blenheim Town Centre and the Wairau Awatere and Picton, Havelock and Inner Sounds areas. It also documents the outcomes of the Council's decision making process on the recommendations made in the three strategies (and the revision of part one of these) that collectively form the Growing Marlborough Strategy.
This strategy should be read in conjunction with the sub-strategies to gain a full picture of the proposals.
