Plan change notification
A district plan change to allow an integrated transit-oriented development on Orakei Point was notified for public submissions from 18 January to 1 March, 2010. The further submission period closed on 30 April, 2010. The hearing of submissions to the plan change was heard by independent planning commissioners on the 8, 9 and10 June 2010. The hearing was adjourned by the commissioners until 9 July 2010, to allow various property issues to be resolved.
About the development
The proposed development of the peninsula is a partnership between the Redwood
Group, the Equinox Group and Auckland City Council.
The vision for this area is for a mixed use community, anchored by a new
transport hub consisting of a state-of-the-art train station served by a dedicated
neighbourhood shuttle bus service and car drop off.
The proposal includes generous public open space and waterfront access available
to all Aucklanders as well as on-site residents. A mix of apartments, offices, cafes,
shops will also feature including a public board walk encircling the point.
Affected residents in the eastern suburbs have been consulted and kept up to
date on plans for the site, particularly over such issues as building heights, road
access and traffic management.
The plan change was notified for submissions over six weeks, giving people adequate opportunity to consider the proposed changes over an extended submission period.
While the plan change is founded on the master plan - which describes the possible land use and urban design opportunities - submissions need to be on the provisions of the proposed change to the district plan and not the architectural merits of the master plan, which are indicative only.
