LPC is working with GHD to develop a 30-year Master Plan to lay out the future development path and direction for our infrastructure and operations. Master plans are common tools across critical infrastructure entities like Ports and Airports. The study encompasses Lyttelton Port, its freight networks, and the port's inland freight terminals.
The Master Plan will outline how we use our space, develop our infrastructure, and allocate resources to respond to economic, social, geopolitical, environmental and climate factors. It sits alongside the comprehensive work undertaken as part of the Port Lyttelton Plan and the Port Lyttelton Recovery Plan following the earthquakes, which established the spatial planning framework to enable the Port to develop to meet the region's needs into the 2040s. The principles established by the Port Lyttelton Recovery Plan remain, in particular the move of Port operations eastward; the Masterplan is a separate document and tool that will lay out the vision for the development of operations and activities within that existing framework and footprint.
The Master Plan will examine the port's current situation, explore the trade outlook, consider what infrastructure and changes are needed over time, develop options, and identify a preferred future pathway for the port community to be aware of.
The following survey is your opportunity to provide feedback to help us to shape the priorities for the development of the Port's infrastructure over the next 30 years.
