Two projects win Best Practice Awards from New Zealand Planning Institute

The Rolleston Town Centre and Foster Recreation Park Masterplans have been awarded in the Strategic Guidance and Planning category of the New Zealand Planning Institute’s 2014 awards.

Boffa Miskell was the master planning / urban design consultant to award recipient, Selwyn District Council, also working with recreation and leisure consultants Global Leisure Group on the project. The plans will guide future development of important public spaces and facilities in the rapidly growing town.

The award judges said both master plans had achieved a number of best practice outcomes in planning, recreational planning and urban design, with a high level of public support.

"It is an excellent example of a collaborative approach to visioning and forward planning, bringing together a range of disciplines and a number of diverse (and conflicting) public and private sector aspirations."
