Sumner's Draft Master Plan available for community comment
Residents and businesses are encouraged to tell the Christchurch City Council their views on the vision, goals and actions proposed in the Draft Sumner Village Centre Master Plan.
The Plan has been prepared to support the recovery and rebuild of Sumner’s Village Centre in response to the damage caused by the earthquakes.
The Plan will be available from Thursday 8 November in any of the Council’s open service centres and libraries. It is also available to view at several cafes within Sumner’s Village Centre and online at www.ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay
The final date for public submissions is 5pm on Wednesday 12 December 2012.
Joint Advisory Group (JAG*) Chairman David Cox says, “Community leaders, land and business owners and local residents have put a lot of work and energy into developing the community-led Plan, which is really, really appreciated.
“Community involvement throughout the process, especially in its early stages, has meant the Plan has real relevance to local people and businesses. It is about creating a future that people want to contribute to and be part of. It is now up to the community to affirm that we are still on the right track.”
