We study three-dimensional spin-3 higher-spin gauge theory with z = 2 Lifshitz ground state, which carries nontrivial spin-2 and spin-3 charges. After providing consistent boundary conditions and determining the associated asymptotic symmetry algebra, we consider the possible geometric interpretation of the theory in light of the higher spin gauge invariance and remark on the implications of the asymptotic symmetry analysis.
