Engaging communities to plan tomorrow’s communities at North Wilton
In early 2022 we invited community input to help us shape a shared vision to guide our planning for North Wilton. Over summer we issued a series of social media posts to start the conversation about the future of North Wilton seeking responses to the following questions:
-
What are the features of a community that people love to live in?
-
What does the good life look like in North Wilton in the future?
-
What are the must-have features of a climate-ready neighbourhood today and in the future?
We then held two workshops in April 2022, including an online and a in-person event in Wilton to understand community hopes for North Wilton, views on what makes North Wilton distinct, what would make it highly liveable and loveable, and thoughts on a draft vision.
This 25 year project that will deliver some 5,600 homes is being planned to deliver ambitious sustainability outcomes including enabling carbon neutral with no gas, and a goal to achieve world leading 6 State Green Star Communities accreditation as well as 10% affordable housing and 20% diverse housing.
