Levin Town Centre Transformation - Quick Reference Guide

Levin Town Centre.

The vision for the Levin Town Centre transformation is to create an attractive and vibrant urban town centre environment that supports economic growth, fosters community engagement and promotes sustainable development, ultimately enriching the quality of life for residents and visitors in Levin. 

The Levin Town Centre Transformation Strategy was developed in 2018, and presented a vision for the town centre and concepts of how it can transform to be a more vibrant, resilient and sustainable place. 

While some work on the Town Centre planning was undertaken following the adoption of the Strategy in 2018, the work was paused during the Covid period. 

In 2023, this strategy was updated through various workshops with Council, enabling a refreshed focus on areas to transform. In December 2023, Council approved the implementation plan that will move the revised transformation strategy to a programme of delivery. 

The main objectives are:

  • Become a ‘destination’ that does not rely on state highway traffic for success
  • Consolidate the Town Centre and enable development on the eastern and western side of Oxford Street
  • Provide a variety of activities, including quality retailing and hospitality based activities
  • Improve the commercial offering and overall experience of Oxford Street
  • Respond to the challenges and opportunities associated with earthquake prone buildings
  • Support and encourage a range of transport options that serve the community’s needs
  • To respond to new opportunities that will achieve the vision of the Levin Town Centre transformation
