Urban Development Strategy

The strategy is intended to provide direction for other plans relating to the Gisborne urban area, such as council's Resource Management Act Plans and the Community Plan. Through these it would influence how council spends its money, development of landuse regulation and policy, and council's future work programme. Implementation of the strategy would also be dependent on other stakeholders.
