The purpose of this Concept Plan is to guide planning by South Waikato District Council and the Tokoroa community. Its aim is to enable people to better engage with Council over local issues and projects.

Its purpose is to guide planning by South Waikato District Council and other agencies in an integrated way. It is a “living document” that will be updated in 2011/12, including opportunities to submit new proposals for consideration.

Tokoroa’s long term development is at a crossroad. Despite all it has going for it, Tokoroa continues to have a poor image with many people. Resident surveys have identified that the town needs greater economic development, more jobs, more attractive shops and streets and increased community safety. Statistics show that unless there is a substantial change in Tokoroa’s fortunes, the population is projected to continue falling.

This Concept Plan reinforces existing plans to promote Tokoroa for its central location, community spirit, clean green environment and recreational opportunities. Community priorities include beautifying the town and increasing its business and employment opportunities.
