South West Growth Area Plan
By 2040, the South West Growth Area will thrive, providing improved housing options and access to shops, schools and transport for our growing communities.
Environmental factors
Over time, climate change will increase heavy rainfall and the risk and impact of flooding. It will also make the air temperature warmer.
Housing mix
The plan for Waterloo south includes a mix of social housing, affordable housing and private homes.
Parks and outdoor spaces
There are 2 new parks included in the plan for Waterloo south. These provide green, open spaces where the community and visitors can enjoy a range of outdoor activities.
Streets and traffic flow
The plan includes changes to streets, walkways and cycleways to improve traffic flow and make it easier to move around.
Trees and sunlight
The tree canopy in Waterloo south is currently 29%. This is expected to increase to around 40%, once development is complete.
