Ahu Ake: the details

Ahu Ake is the Waipā Community Spatial Plan

• A blueprint for the future to determine what the district will look like in 30 years.

• It will consider everything from how our towns, villages and rural spaces will look, to how we will move around, what community facilities we need and how we’ll care for our environment.

It considers five future scenarios

• Status Quo

• Back to the Land – how the district might look if there is significant growth in villages and rural areas.

• Hamilton Grows South – if the Southern Links expressway goes ahead, what will happen north of Ōhaupō?

• Population Dwindles – what if there is little or no increase in resident numbers?

• Urban Densification – what if Cambridge and Te Awamutu grow larger and more rapidly than expected?

Second was another exclusive – Janine Krippner on handing back an artefact from her grandparents’ farm. Our string of News briefs, details of a second footbridge installed at War Memorial Park and Viv Posselt’s story on the opening of an alternative museum space, rounded out the top five.
