Lyttelton Civic Square
The Council has approved a development plan for a new civic square at 44 London Street, Lyttelton. The square will be used for community gathering, socialising and recreation and will incorporate the cenotaph, public toilets and a playground with a slide and hand-operated water pump.

The Draft Main Road Master Plan has been approved for release for public comment in late October/November 2013.
