This Terms of Reference (TOR) sets out the roles and parameters for cross-divisional co-operation between Divisions within Hutt City Council to guide work on this project.

 

Project Title

MAKING PLACES REVIEW

Project Purpose

The purpose of the project is to review and refresh the concept and document to:

Ř Ensure that the community is still supportive of Making Places, understands the intent and has an opportunity to contribute appropriately into the project.

Ř Update the information in the Making Places document to reflect work that is completed and potential projects

Background

Council has identified the CBD as having a key role to play in the rejuvenation of Hutt City and its transformation into the “partner city” to Wellington in the Wellington Region. 

Making Places followed on from the Vision CBD 2030 Project and is about taking the ideas for the future of Hutt City’s CBD found within the visioning work into an overall design framework to unlock the CBD’s potential. This long term design framework has the overall aim to create a CBD that is vibrant, economically resilient, artistically and culturally rich and people friendly

Since Making Places was officially adopted by Council in 2009, a number of projects have either been completed or decided against.  These projects need to be removed from the existing document to ensure that people are able to access an up to date document and also that they can access information about the completed projects.
