The COTW presentation focused primarily on outlining the Big Moves required to action the plan. Feedback from the COTW will be incorporated into a revised draft that will be circulated to stakeholders for final feedback.

The North Shore Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Group will review public and stakeholder feedback and confirm any last revisions where necessary before staff presents a final North Shore Neighbourhood Plan to Council for adoption in September.
