Rolleston town centre roading and public spaces - what do you think?

What’s coming next?

The Council has lodged resource consent applications for the first stage of the town centre – including the Te Ara Ātea Library and Community Centre building, town square and promenade and key roading developments.

Preparatory site works and construction are planned to begin from August 2019.

Te Ara Ātea Library and Community Centre and the associated roading projects are expected to be completed by November 2020, with the town square and public spaces completed in early 2021. Later stages of the town centre development will include retail, commercial and hospitality developments.

The Rolleston Town Centre Master Plan

A master plan for Rolleston town centre was adopted by the Council in 2014 after extensive community consultation. Key elements of the plan have also been confirmed through Long-Term Plans and other consultation. The plan sets out a vision for a town centre, located on what is currently part of Rolleston Reserve, which will be a vibrant and engaging destination for Rolleston and the wider Selwyn district.
