Christchurch City Council has adopted the master plan to support the recovery of Edgeware Village.
The plan is part of the Council’s Suburban Centres Programme to support the recovery of quake-damaged commercial centres.
Funding has been secured for streetscape and movement improvements and these are expected to be implemented in 2015-2016.
Shirley/Papanui Community Board Chairman Mike Davidson says the development of the Edgeware Village Master Plan has given local residents, businesses and community groups the opportunity to help shape the future of Edgeware Village.
“In particular people have expressed a desire to reinforce Edgeware’s village feel through introducing seating and quality landscaping and the development of courtyard spaces and laneways and other improvements to the street. The Board has requested that further investigation is undertaken relating to the provision of on-street car parking in the Village and how the planned major cycleway might impact on the final design.”
