Future Proof | Te Tau Tiitoki is a joint project set up to consider how the Hamilton, Waipā, Waikato and Matamata-Piako  sub-region should develop into the future

Our sub-region's population is projected to increase by around 30 per cent over the next 30 years! What kind of place would you want it to be? Where would you or your children like to live? Where will you work? What is important to your lifestyle? What quality of environment would you want to have?

How we manage the demand for housing and business land and how we plan for infrastructure such as roads, water treatment plants and schools is vital to the sustainability of the place we live in. Dealing with the impacts of growth is a major challenge facing the sub-regional community.

Draft 2024 Future Proof Strategy

Further updates to the Future Proof Strategy are needed under the National Policy Statement for Urban Development, and so we can respond to other changes in national and regional direction and legislation.  We have also updated the strategy to reflect the inclusion of our most recent partner, Matamata Piako District Council.

The Draft 2024 Future Proof Strategy is available for you to read.  Consultation closed on Monday 19 February 2024.
