Plain-English summary
Gisborne District Council and Trust Tairāwhiti are developing an Action and Investment Plan for the city centre. The current engagement presents three progressively more extensive options focused on Lowe Street, Gladstone Road, Peel Street and Reads Quay.
The Council wants to know how far the project should go, what may have been missed and what a successful city centre would look like in five to ten years.

Changes could affect walking, driving, parking, business access and how people use the city centre.
