What happens next?

Once public engagement closes, we’ll collate and review the feedback and make further changes to the concept plan based on the information we receive. It will then be presented to Community & Services Committee to consider recommending the plan to Full Council for adoption in the new year.

The implementation of the plan will likely involve a staged approach (so will not happen all at once and will depend on available funding) but having a clear vision in place will ensure a cohesive way forward.

Background and vision

The Arrowtown Riverside Reserves are a group of community reserves that span 20.5 hectares and are a popular destination for locals and visitors to the district. They’re well-loved for walking and cycling trails, heritage features, skatepark and pump track facilities, backcountry 4WD and horse-riding access.

The draft plan focuses on improving the connectivity between the reserves and the waterways and creating opportunities for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles to enjoy shared spaces. It also aims to enhance how the reserves are used by providing informal recreation areas to cater for all ages and abilities. The plan supports biodiversity with restoration planting and looks to protect heritage values and improve parking and access.

We’re now seeking feedback from the community before finalising the plan.
