Teviot Valley Spatial Plan

The Teviot Valley Spatial Plan is a blueprint for the next 30 years, showing what our towns could look like and how infrastructure, housing and productive land use fit together. It is a vision for the future, offering guidance to the private and public sector, including direction for infrastructure investment and Council’s future planning.

The plan aims to strike a balance between providing a mix of business areas and housing choices through land use changes, while maintaining and protecting rural productivity, and enhancing recreational opportunities. The plan enables growth and future development in a way that protects what makes the area so special to residents, while also creating opportunities to attract more people, businesses and visitors to the area.

The plan is a collaboration between Central Otago District Council, the community, Te Rūnaka O Kāi Tahu (mana whenua) and other stakeholders. Its development rests on key planning principles relating to our environment, the character of our place, how we manage growth in a sustainable way, accessibility, housing choice and infrastructure.

Central to the creation of the Teviot Valley Spatial Plan is a commitment to community engagement, ensuring the plan reflects the ideas, aspirations, and wishes of our community.

The plan was adopted by the Central Otago District Council on Wednesday 28 November 2024.
