The Onehunga survey was undertaken by the following interdisciplinary team working for, and on behalf of Auckland Council’s Heritage Unit between February and September 2013: Myfanwy Eaves (Project Lead), Principal Specialist David Bade, Specialist Built Heritage Katharine Sheldon, Specialist Built Heritage René Bester, Heritage Researcher Tony Barnes, Principal Heritage Advisor North Rebecca Fogel, Heritage Specialist Elizabeth Pishief, reviewer Further contributions were made by Rebecca Freeman, Principal Specialist Built Heritage (Issues Mapping) and Graeme Murdoch, Consultant Historian (Mana whenua values). A research partnership with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT), as a continuation of their City@Risk project, is formally acknowledged, and gratitude is expressed for their teamwork, assistance, competency and patience. As mutually agreed, all statutory requirements and subsequent evaluations are the result of separate procedural requirements and do not reflect the roles of the other organisation. Lastly, an enormous contribution was made by the members of the Onehunga Fencible & Historical Society, the Onehunga Enhancement Society (TOES) and the other interest groups in Onehunga who meet regularly as the Onehunga Community Advisory Group (OCAG). Their time, knowledge and willing assistance are acknowledged with gratitude for this project. 1.1 Purpose The AHS is a multi-year programme led by the Auckland Council Heritage Unit. It represents the implementation of the Auckland Plan by increasing the survey coverage of the region, significantly increasing the number of places on the heritage schedule, and improving community satisfaction with Council’s management of historic heritage. In addition to serving these key purposes, the AHS informs two critical pieces of work: Revisions to the Auckland Council Historic Heritage Area Assessments: Draft Interim Guidance (October 2012), which is intended to provide the ‘template’ for future surveys across Auckland. The preparation of the Auckland Council Unitary Plan, which will include objectives and policies that will shape the future of the survey area and include a schedule of significant Historic Heritage Places. The purpose of the OHS was to provide a: Level 3 (detailed) survey for a pre-defined area of Onehunga. The defined area includes (approximately) the former lands of Onehunga Borough Council within the boundary of Mount Smart Road (north), Manukau Harbour (south), Alfred Street (east), and lower Pleasant Street to Trafalgar Street and Royal Oak (west). The intention of the surveys was to provide research, identification, analysis and recommendations for historic heritage places and areas, special character areas, community values, and matāwaka and mana whenua values. The project involved discussions with the Onehunga Heritage Survey: Final 5 community and natural heritage professionals, resulting in inter-related findings which are cross-referenced across the study. The original boundary for the Onehunga Heritage survey is shown
