Draft Marton Streetscape Plan consultation launches
For the past year, we've been working with Marton businesses, mana whenua and the wider community on a draft plan that revitalises Marton's Town Centre.
November 07, 2025
Today, Council is launching consultation on the Draft Marton Streetscape Plan.
Why are we doing this?
Because you told us to! During previous consultations (specifically the Pae Tawhiti Rangitīkei Beyond Spatial Plan and the Where's it @ Rangitīkei Long-term Plan 2024 - 34, people told us that a revitalised streetscape was a top priority to make the town centre more appealing to users, attract new businesses and improve safety.
As part of the LTP 2024 – 34, Council set aside $2 million for the streetscape upgrade, and now we want to ensure that the draft plan we’ve developed reflects your vision.
What's included the draft plan?
Some of the things included in the plan are:
1. Renewed paving and street furniture
2. Safer and better lighting
3. Changes to car parking and new pedestrian crossings
4. Enhancements to the green
What we want to know?
We want to hear from you about what you like about the draft plan, what don't you like, and to tell us if there's anything that you like to see added or changed. Or if you have concerns about the project overall, here's your chance to raise them.
If you want to chat to someone from Council about the draft plan, you can come into the Marton Community Hub on Tuesday 18 November between 10:00am and 2:00pm.
What happens after the consultation?
Your feedback will be summarised and help our elected members determine the future of the draft plan.
Consultation closes on Friday 5 December at 5:00pm. Don't miss out on the chance to have your say on the future of your town!
