Working in partnership with GHD, Boffa Miskell urban designers are preparing an integrated masterplan and transport programme business case for Frankton. The project approach uses stakeholder engagement to bind together the masterplanning and business case processes, creating a robust set of outcomes and a strong case for investment.

Using innovative and intensive engagement techniques, the project team was able to establish consensus across a diverse range of stakeholders and form an evidence base for both the masterplan and programme business case.

Key outcomes for the masterplan include:

• Enhancing Frankton’s role as a hub for the district,
• Integrating with the lakefront and rivers edges,
• Living and growing in harmony with nature,
• Unified and integrated town and local centres,
• Enhancing the local networks, and
• Nurturing inclusive neighbourhoods.

These masterplan outcomes have been woven together into a recommended Spatial Framework, which is underpinned by a range of attainable land use and transportation actions. This sets out what Frankton might look like by 2048.

This transformation will be staged over a 30-year timeframe in collaboration with the Wakatipu Way to Go partnership and community stakeholders.
