The purpose of the Tirau Concept Plan is to guide planning by the Tirau Community Board, Tirau Business Association, Council and the local community in an integrated way.

Tirau is recognised throughout New Zealand as a high quality boutique retail centre, visitor stop and destination. The Main Road’s antique stores, arts, crafts and cafés are enjoyed by hundreds of people every day, making Tirau the bustling northern gateway to the South Waikato District. The village is proud and confident, with unique character and rural charm. It is continuously reinventing itself to stay contemporary and attractive.

The vision for Tirau is to enhance its status as a Thriving Retail Village. Through careful planning, Tirau will remain a unique village with a distinct but limited range of services. Key principles and priorities for action are shown opposite and on the following pages.
