Access Hamilton
As Hamilton grows, pressure on the city’s transport network continues to increase. Key Access Hamilton roading projects address current traffic congestion and future city growth, involving arterial intersection improvements and completion of the ring road and cross-city connector. This includes changes and extensions to existing roads and intersections, as well as expanding the network through new initiatives.

Hamilton District Plan Review
Fast Forward is the name of Hamilton's District Plan Review and it is perhaps Council's most significant long-term project. The District Plan affects all Hamilton residents and organisations as it sets out the rules and policies for how people can develop and use land in the city.
Right now Council is seeking comment from the public on the District Plan review's first public Discussion Document. The Discussion Document is aimed at identifying the most significant resource management issues for the city which will eventually be addressed by the District Plan. It is stage one of Council's two-year review of Hamilton's District Plan, named Fast Forward. Commenting on the Discussion Document is a good opportunity for all residents and organisations to shape the direction of the new District Plan from the beginning of the process. Council would like to get the community's feedback on the issues it has identified as significant as well as any other issues Hamiltonians think are important for the city.

City Expansion
Future expansion of Hamilton requires significant planning and coordination to ensure that the necessary land and infrastructure is available to cater for the city's increasing and diverse population needs.
Council has prepared an Urban Growth Strategy to guide the future development of the city and assist the coordination of infrastructure and services. This will contribute to achieving a sustainable pattern of development that meets the changing demographic and economic needs of the city over the next 50 years. Council is also involved in the preparation of a subregional growth strategy: Futureproof.
