Springvale is a suburb of Whanganui, in the Whanganui District and Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand's North Island.
An extension to the residential urban boundary was proposed in 2018 to provide homes for another 575 homes.[3] The extension faced opposition.[4]
As of 2018, homes in Springvale are among the fastest selling in the country, with the average house taking just 12 days to sell.[5]
In 2019, Whanganui Māori proposed naming a new street Te Repo to recognise the wetlands that previously existed in the area, but the road was ultimately named after local sculptor Joan Morrell.[6]
