Adelaide Road is an important part of the city. It provides employment and a range of services. It's close to the central city, Wellington Hospital, the Newtown shops, the Basin Reserve and Massey University’s Wellington campus.
The Council has worked with the community, landowners, businesses, developers, residents and others to explore the opportunities for the future growth and development of the northern Adelaide Road area (between John Street intersection and the Basin Reserve). The project has looked at how this area can be developed and enhanced to create a more attractive, people-friendly and prosperous part of the city.
The Adelaide Road Framework outlines a vision for the future growth and development of the Adelaide Road area and identifies things we would like to achieve. It envisages significant urban change over the next 20+ years to create a prosperous and high quality mixed-use area.
The vision provides for significantly more residential development (to accommodate approximately 1550 more people by 2026), supported by good quality public amenities and streetscape, employment opportunities, good public transport, and a transport route that works well for everyone.
The redevelopment of the Adelaide Road area will demonstrate high quality design and innovation. It will be an urban community on the edge of the CBD that has easy access to opportunities for living and working, public transport, and is highly walkable.
The Adelaide Road Framework has been developed following extensive information gathering, research, analysis, and community consultation and planning.
