Wellington council plans urban reforms, infrastructure upgrades, and new taxes to boost development and trust.
Wellington City Council has unveiled its 2025–2028 Triennium Plan, introducing an Urban Development Office to streamline building consents, set performance targets for processing times, and improve transparency.
The plan prioritizes infrastructure upgrades, including the Moa Point sewage plant, and aims to rebuild public trust after low confidence levels.
It proposes a development levy and Land Value Rating to encourage development, though three councillors oppose aspects of it.
Council will also review consent fees and consider Crown funding for major projects.
The plan, which includes planting 300,000 native trees, will be voted on next Thursday.
