The Hamilton Urban Growth Strategy is based on the concept of 'mend before you extend' and puts forward 4 key growth propositions:
* Facilitating a move towards more choices for compact living environments in the existing city - with a greater focus on quality
* In the short to medium term, recommitting to the development of Rototuna as the preferred residential growth cell, plus 900 sections in Rotokauri and 500 sections in Peacocke
* The transfer of Ruakura land from Waikato District Council to be used as an innovation/employment area rather than residential (from around 2016)
* In the longer term (beyond 2023) prioritising the development of the remainder of the Peacocke residential area.
