An extension to the residential urban boundary was proposed in 2018 to provide homes for another 575 homes. The extension faced opposition.

As of 2018, homes in Springvale are among the fastest selling in the country, with the average house taking just 12 days to sell.

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.
