These matters are listed below as principals for developers to consider for consultation. If you would like to add to the list please contact us using the following form

What we would like to see in future Resource Management Decisions in Mangere South

Update Zoning Maps in Operative District Plan

Currently the Operative District Plan recognises much of the urban area around Naylor's Drive as Business 5 zoning (light to medium industry) with an underlying residential focus. This confusion should be cleared up so that the other matters listed below can be addressed.

Connectivity

Parks

Opportunities exist now to create vegetation corridors and improved public transport and walkways for the area by addressing these concerns through the Plan change process and paving the way for our parks to become more widely used by pedestrians, cyclists and birds.

Cycle Ways

the wonderful cycle way from Auckland City (starting in Onehunga) is set to be extended through to Ihumatao Rd and the Gateway business park. This is excellent, however when queried Transport planners were not sure about how the realignment of George Bolt Memorial will impact. I wonder if they could give us a nice overhead bridge to improve access from our little neighbourhood :-)

Steve Patton at the Manukau City Council who is overseeing the development of cycleways. He has discussed how Transit has committed to alternative transport and is confident that the realignment and finishing of the arterial and primary roads will keep in mind the fact that the area deserves special attention when cycle lanes are mapped.

Buffering Industry

We need to see the areas between urban living and industrial use more clearly defined but at the same time taking advantage of this by encouraging people to live closer to where they work.
