Rangiora town centre becoming more about entertainment, relaxation as people shop online
The Waimakariri District Council's draft Rangiora Town Centre Strategy Blueprint to 2030+ is out for consultation and the council is keen to get as much feedback as possible.
Council business and centres manager Simon Hart said another 6 to 8 hectares of residential space (enough for about 4500 homes) would be required over the next two to three decades to keep up with the area's expected growth. Areas to the west and east of Rangiora have been earmarked for future residential growth.
The draft plan will be on display in the Gables Arcade on High St from February 22 and consultation runs until March 9.
