Allan Dippie was one of the first developers to announce big plans for the town in the early 2000s, resulting in a new subdivision between Luggate Creek and the Clutha River.
In December 2021, developer Murray Frost announced plans to significantly expand Luggate.
Earthworks, roads and infrastructure are now under way for more than 100 new sections.
Last December, the $5.56 million town hall was opened.
Meanwhile, Upper Clutha Transport — which has operated for more than 100 years at the old mill site in the heart of the town — is relocating later this year.
Mr Frost has plans to develop the site into a commercial precinct, while preserving the historic mill building.
Two non-profit volunteer organisations, the Shaping our Future forum and the Luggate Community Association, have united to host two community workshops at the town’s new hall in mid-July.
Forum executive officer John Glover said Luggate’s last community plan was produced in 2003 when there were 83 homes.
Queenstown Lakes District Council data shows Luggate had 250 houses by 2021, housing 600 people.
The new district plan enables another 310 to be built in the long term, while the Luggate population is projected to be 960 by 2051.
Mr Glover said capacity for growth was "baked into the district plan".
"In the short term, the adequacy of water and other infrastructure may act as a natural brake on the rate of that growth, so it’s a great time for the community to get ahead of some of that."
Shaping our Future chairwoman Vanessa van Uden said a plan led and owned by the community would be "far more likely to get the outcomes the community desires".
The first workshop is on July 13, 6.30pm-9.30pm, the second is on July 16, 9am-noon.
