Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan

Planz provided comprehensive RMA planning input for the development of the Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan, enabling the $500 million rebuilding of port infrastructure following the earthquakes.

This involved a full review of the operative District Plan provisions, assessing their alignment with the port’s recovery needs.

The planning process included synthesising feedback from a wide range of technical expert reports on landscape, urban design, recreation, cultural and social values, economic factors, transport, and ecological considerations into a coherent and pragmatic set of proposed District Plan provisions.

Additionally, Planz secured the necessary resource consents for the development of a new Inland Port facility in Rolleston, which included provisions for new rail sidings and the large-scale handling and transit of exports from the Canterbury Region. This work was crucial in ensuring the effective recovery and future resilience of Lyttelton Port and its associated infrastructure.
