Rangiora's growth inspires council to work on charming, modern town plan
“Charismatic and contemporary’’ is how the Waimakariri District Council hopes Rangiora will be viewed into the next decade and beyond.
The Rangiora Town Centre Strategy – Blueprint to 2030+ – seeks to support the town's projected rapid growth from its current population of 18,000 to 30,000 by 2048.
Rangiora is the local service centre for more than 60 per cent of the Waimakariri district, and with the continued need to keep up with the population, the council has been investigating ways to increase opportunities for residential and business growth.
