Is Martinborough losing its soul?
The restaurants and bars of Queenstown and Rotorua may be quieter these days, but take a drive around Martinborough Square on Friday night and it's a different story.
Property prices are skyrocketing in the Wairarapa village, worker accommodation is scarce, and the infrastructure is creaking under the weight of a burgeoning population and years of under investment.
Martinborough’s population has grown by 35 per cent in the last 10 years, now with nearly 2000 permanent residents.
The council is currently formulating its spatial plan, which will set out those areas in the wider district that are suitable for growth.
