Structure Plan Areas

Three Structure Plans are currently incorporated into the Plan: The Taruheru Block Infrastructure Plan proposes a layout of key road links. These road links are not just for access, but also provide corridors for infrastructure such as water, wastewater, stormwater, electricity and telecommunications. The proposed roading layout was designed to promote efficiency in these services. The structure plan also promotes alignment of the high voltage electricity lines and the proposed major drainage swale with the roading network so as to minimise safety, amenity and maintenance issues. The Roading Concept Plan for the Rural Industrial A Zone addresses roading layout only and is intended to provide for access for future activities, while minimising the impact of access on the State Highway. The Structure Plan for the Citrus Grove Development Control Area also sets out key linkages for roading, cycleways, walkways, reticulated service corridors, as well as landscape and amenity buffers, and finished ground levels. One key linkage provided for by the Structure Plan is the 10m wide services, cycleway and pedestrian corridor which links the industrial land within the Development Control Area to the Makaraka settlement and Aerodrome Road, thereby providing for logical connectivity between the various existing and proposed urban based land uses
