Māpua Masterplan

After almost two years of extensive community engagement, the Māpua Masterplan and Māpua Catchment Management Plan was adopted in August 2025.

Community feedback played a key role in shaping the final plan – from public meetings and surveys to written submissions, a wide range of ideas and perspectives were considered.

While we recognise the plan may not satisfy everyone, we believe it represents a balanced approach that meets future growth needs while honouring community aspirations.

Key outcomes in the Masterplan include:

• Securing Kite Park’s future as a recreational area
• Preserving the cultural heritage of Grossi Point
• Supporting diverse housing options to accommodate future residents
• Enhancing recreational linkages while protecting natural habitats

Community support for housing diversity was especially clear in feedback and is reflected in the final plan.
