I am a Planner and hold the position of Technical Director at Beca Limited. I am providing planning evidence on behalf of Housing New Zealand Corporation’s submissions (839, FS 3338) in respect of Hearing Topic 079 - Special Character and Pre-1944 mapping. 2 I provide this statement of planning evidence relying on, and not repeating, other evidence prepared on behalf of the Corporation in respect of the PAUP. In particular, this includes: 2.1 Evidence presented in respect of Topic 010, and 029/030 including my own evidence and the evidence of Mr Pearson in respect of historic heritage; 2.2 Evidence presented in respect of Topic 013, including my own evidence in respect of wider objectives of the PAUP including urban growth; 2.3 Evidence prepared for this Topic, including: (a) The heritage evidence of Mr Pearson; and (b) The economic evidence of Mr Heath and Mr Osborne. 3 The Corporation now has approximately 18ha directly affected by the revised special character overlay (increasing to approximately 30ha if consideration is given to the whole of a development site as being affected, rather than specific properties) and 37ha directly affected by the revised Pre-1944 Overlay (increasing to some 60ha if whole development sites affected are considered). This represents a very minor reduction in the extent of property affected Amelia Linzey Statement of Evidence NZ1-11225045-Planning Evidence PAUP .docm, December 2015 4 by the special character overlay, of only 3%1 but a decrease of 85% of the Pre-1944 overlay (though this amounts to a 75% reduction if whole development blocks affected are assessed). While this is a notable reduction in the extent of the Pre-1944 Overlay, the heritage overlays combined nonetheless represent a significant proportion of the Corporations housing stock (equating to 4% of sites directly affected and 6% if development sites are taken into consideration). 4 In summary, the key points addressed in my evidence are: In respect of the Special Character Overlay: 4.1 I am of the view that the revised spatial application of the Special Character overlay remains to be more appropriately a reflection of the amenity and built form context of these areas as compared to ‘historic heritage’ value. 4.2 I appreciate the identified amenity /built form characteristics of these areas and the value of these characteristics to residents. However in my view, it is more appropriate for these values to be reflected in zone provisions than as discrete overlay values that have primacy to the functional amenity values of these areas. On this basis I remain of the view that these overlays should not be the driving determinant of the land use and density controls. For these reasons, I do not support the proposed “blanket” approach to the underlying zoning of sites subject to the character areas as Single House. 1 As a result of Council’s proposed uplifting of the Heritage Area in Jordan Ave (with consequential transfer to a Character overlay), this results in increase in the area impacted by the Overlay of 0.6%, if whole development sites are considered affected. Amelia Linzey Statement of Evidence NZ1-11225045-Planning Evidence PAUP .docm, December 2015 5 4.3 I consider that if both the ‘zone’ and ‘additional control’ (i.e. overlay) approach is to be retained (rather than embedding characteristics in the zone or creating a new zone) it is important that the specific matters of development control are recognised as such. The work done on the provisions and assessment matters in respect of Topic 029 (with Council) made significant progress on this. However, I maintain my position that the tools used need to distinguish that the outcome of control is how change happens not if change happens. 4.4 Notwithstanding these overarching concerns I consider that, on the basis of Mr Pearson’s review, the following ‘sub’ areas have been identified as not displaying the amenity/ built character values as set out in the associated character statement prepared by Council: (a) Northcote Character Statement: Northcote (Onewa Road, Waimana Avenue, Bruce Street, Belle Vue Avenue); (b) Isthmus A Character Statement: Freemans Bay (Hepburn Street, Anglesea Street and Tahuara Street as well as the site of the multi-unit flats on corner of Franklin/England, Ryle/ ood and England/Ryle); (c) Isthmus B Character Statement: One Tree Hill (Massey Avenue, Kawau Road, Te Kawa Road, Waiohua Road), Meadowbank (Meadowbank Road, Bonnie Brae Road, Macpherson Street), Otahuhu (Jellicoe Street, Beatty Street), Sandringham (Kiwitea Street, Lambeth Road), Three Kings (Donald Crescent, Clehom Avenue, Bridgman Avenue, Fearon Avenue, Denbeigh Avenue, Mount Roskill Road, Radnor Road); and Amelia Linzey Statement of Evidence NZ1-11225045-Planning Evidence PAUP .docm, December 2015 6 (d) Onehunga (Cardwell Street), given a character statement could not be identified in Council’s evidence. 4.5 There are several of the Corporation’s sites that I accept display the identified amenity/ built character values of the Councils’ character statement. However, for the following sites I consider that the costs associated with protecting these values outweigh any benefit derived from protecting the built form amenity. These areas include: (a) Isthmus B Character Statement: Mt Albert (Burnside Avenue, Verona Avenue); (b) Isthmus C Character Statement: Three Kings (Scout Avenue, McCullough Avenue). 4.6 In respect of other areas identified by Council, I restate that the position that these areas be identified for their ‘character value’ is on the basis that they are being managed for built form/ amenity (and in particular streetscape amenity) and not historic heritage protection. 5 In respect of the Pre-1944 Overlay: 5.1 I remain concerned with the Council’s approach for an interim protection of the Pre-1944 Overlay, particularly in light of the evidence of Council (Ms Rowe and others) where Council indicates that the effect of the overlay as interim protection will also result in interim ‘down-zoning’ (to Mixed Housing Suburban or Single House zones), until such time that Council has prepared a Plan Change. It also appears that at the time of a future Plan Change, these areas would likely be subject to further ‘down-zoning’ (e.g. to Single House Zone). Amelia Linzey Statement of Evidence NZ1-11225045-Planning Evidence PAUP .docm, December 2015 7 5.2 I do not support the proposed interim down-zoning of sites subject to the Pre-1944 Overlay for the following reasons: (a) Down-zoning is being proposed in areas I consider to be particularly suitable for residential intensification (e.g. in close proximity to centres and public transport networks); (b) I do not believe that sufficient evidence has been presented to evaluate the costs of down-zoning these areas against the benefit of protecting areas that have a potential value as character areas; and (c) As such I am concerned that the approach unreasonably predetermines the outcome of what Council are seeking to achieve in any future Plan Change and creates potential obfuscation of the potential costs of the future overlay and down-zoning that may be proposed. 5.3 I consider that the more normal and appropriate approach in such circumstance would be to undertake a Plan Change to these areas in a transparent planning process that assesses the costs of down-zoning in these areas relative to the benefits. For these reasons I maintain my opinion that the Pre-1944 overlay should be withdrawn. INTRODUCTION 6 My full name is Amelia Joan Linzey. I am a Planner and hold the position of Technical Director at Beca Limited. I have the qualifications and experience set out in my statement of evidence, dated 17 October 2014, on the Regional Policy Statement (“RPS”) Topic 005 (including Attachment A

  • The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland
    New Zealand Population Review, 35:55-74. Copyright © 2009 Population Association of New Zealand The Demographic Transformation of Inner City Auckland WARDLOW FRIESEN * Abstract The inner city of Auckland, comprising the inner suburbs and the Central Business District (CBD) has undergone a process of reurbanisation in recent years. Following suburbanisation, redevelopment and motorway construction after World War II, the population of the inner city declined significantly. From the 1970s onwards some inner city suburbs started to become gentrified and while this did not result in much population increase, it did change the characteristics of inner city populations. However, global and local forces converged in the 1990s to trigger a rapid repopulation of the CBD through the development of apartments, resulting in a great increase in population numbers and in new populations of local and international students as well as central city workers and others. he transformation of Central Auckland since the mid-twentieth century has taken a number of forms. The suburbs encircling the TCentral Business District (CBD) have seen overall population decline resulting from suburbanisation, as well as changing demographic and ethnic characteristics resulting from a range of factors, and some areas have been transformed into desirable, even elite, neighbourhoods. Towards the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty first century, a related but distinctive transformation has taken place in the CBD, with the rapid construction of commercial and residential buildings and a residential population growth rate of 1000 percent over a fifteen year period. While there are a number of local government and real estate reports on this phenomenon, there has been relatively little academic attention to its nature * School of Environment, The University of Auckland.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 5th September 2018 Newsletter #233 Congratulations to the Vodafone Warriors on making the 2018 NRL Finals Congratulations Simon on playing your 300th game for the Vodafone Warriors we hope you enjoyed the night as we all did. Photos courtesy of www.photosport.nz Bloody, Penrith, Dragons and Broncos...give me a break By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan HIS IS why I am not an NRL tipster. TLast week I boldly opined that to get a home game we would need to beat the Raiders – which happened – and have results go our way – which didn’t. The Storm did not beat the Panthers and blew the Minor Premiership, buggering everything. The Roosters, as predicted, were way too good for the Eels and snatched the Minor Premiership. Souths ended their slump by beating a Tigers side that barely looked interested to finish third. The Sharks at least made me look semi-competent, beating the Dogs to go fourth. The Panthers, as mentioned, pulled off an upset no-one saw coming, and that left them in fifth. The Broncos crushed Manly and rose to sixth, only failing to edge the Panthers – having finished on the same points and differential – because they had more points conceded. The Dragons beat Newcastle yet dropped to seventh. All of which saw us, despite our win over Canberra, at an almost disappointing eighth. Being there is the only thing, and our last finals experience in 2011 took us all the way to the final from the same spot, so why not again? It’s doubtful even if I wish I could say differently, but I cannot see it happening.

  • Soldiers & Colonists
    SOLDIERS & COLONISTS Imperial Soldiers as Settlers in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand John M. McLellan A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2017 i Abstract The approximately 18,000 imperial troops who arrived in New Zealand with the British regiments between 1840 and 1870 as garrison and combat troops, did not do so by choice. However, for the more than 3,600 non-commissioned officers and rank and file soldiers who subsequently discharged from the army in New Zealand, and the unknown but significant number of officers who retired in the colony, it was their decision to stay and build civilian lives as soldier settlers in the colony. This thesis investigates three key themes in the histories of soldiers who became settlers: land, familial relationships, and livelihood. In doing so, the study develops an important area of settler colonialism in New Zealand history. Discussion covers the period from the first arrival of soldiers in the 1840s through to the early twentieth century – incorporating the span of the soldier settlers’ lifetimes. The study focuses on selected aspects of the history of nineteenth-century war and settlement. Land is examined through analysis of government statutes and reports, reminiscences, letters, and newspapers, the thesis showing how and why soldier settlers were assisted on to confiscated and alienated Māori land under the Waste Lands and New Zealand Settlement Acts. Attention is also paid to documenting the soldier settlers’ experiences of this process and its problems. Further, it discusses some of the New Zealand settlements in which military land grants were concentrated.
