    PLIMMERTON FARM – PLAN CHANGE PROPOSAL Supporting Documentation View from Submitters Property Karla and Trevor Beamsley 24 Motuhara Road Plimmerton PLIMMERTON FARM SUBMISSION | K BEAMSLEY Page 1 1. INTRODUCTION The village of Plimmerton is a northern suburb of Porirua, and is surrounded to the North and East by farmland. It represents the edge of existing residential dwellings. Generally existing homes are stand-alone dwellings on lots greater than 500m² in size. Most residents within Plimmerton and Camborne either commute into Wellington city or work from home. The demand for housing in this area is from professional couples or families looking for 3 – 4 bedroom family homes on a section with space for kids to run around in, not medium or high density three-storey buildings and apartments, this is reflected in the TPG report to PCC (Dec 2019). Medium density style townhouses, or apartments would be totally out of character of the surrounding residential areas, and would present a stark contrast to the remaining rural areas which bound the site. The Plimmerton Farm site is not located close to areas of high employment, nor is it close to local amenities like the main shopping areas of Porirua. The site is also not located within an area currently supported by existing infrastructure. Much of the infrastructure in the area is aging, and requires repair or upgrade to support existing demands. Therefore, the idea that Plimmerton Farm would provide homes in a location close to employment, amenities and infrastructure1 is simply incorrect in terms of a 10-year time frame. Areas where this would be true include the currently developing areas of Aotea, Whitby, Kenepuru, and Porirua East.

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038.

My name is John Christopher Horne. 2. I was asked to assess the potential effects of the proposal on recreational use in the area. I have restricted my consideration to use by walkers and runners, as I do not have relevant expertise in relation to mountain biking, kayaking, angling and other recreational uses. 3. I do not have a formal qualification relevant to this area of expertise. 4. I have extensive experience in undertaking and managing recreational activities in the area. I am involved in two organisations that provide support for recreational activities, the Tararua Tramping Club, and Wellington Botanical Society (WBS). 5. I have participated in WBS field trips in: • the bush block, Battle Hill Farm Forest Park • Cannons Creek Covenant, Belmont Regional Park/Waitangirua Farm. 6. I have led numerous tramps across Belmont Regional Park, between the Hutt Valley and Porirua Basin. Each of these traverses have involved crossing the Waitangirua Farm section of Belmont Regional Park, using one of the following routes across the designation for the proposed TGP: • Track over pasture from Cannons Head, 390 m, in the headwaters of Cannons Creek, to near Takapu Road sub-station, then on old farm road through regenerating forest to the west side of Cannons Creek Covenant, then on an old farm road to the Cannons Creek Lakes, and footpath to Warspite , Waitangirua.

  • Pacific People in Cannons Creek/Waitangirua: Movement and Attachment
    Pacific People in Cannons Creek/Waitangirua: Movement and Attachment Bev James Public Policy & Research and Margaret Southwick Health Education and Social Science Whitireia Community Polytechnic 1. Introduction This paper reports on the findings of the Pacific panel, which is made up of 150 Pacific people who participated in the Cannons Creek/Waitangirua panel over three annual interviews conducted from 2004–2006. Cannons Creek and Waitangirua are two suburbs of Porirua City that are considered by residents to form a community.1 Almost 13,000 people make Cannons Creek and Waitangirua their home. The Pacific panel contributes to a developing information base on those who identify with a Pacific ethnicity, a growing group in New Zealand. In the 2006 Census, there were 265,974 people of Pacific ethnicity residing in New Zealand (6.9 percent of the total population). This was a 15 percent increase since the 2001 Census.2 New Zealand has been, and continues to be, a significant recipient of Pacific peoples as permanent and long term immigrants, in part because of the right of residence of Cook Islanders, Niueans and Tokelauans, as well as the demand for labour from Pacific countries.3 Pacific people come to New Zealand for many reasons including education, work and as visitors (who stay mostly with relatives). Often, temporary forms of movement, for education and work, become pathways to permanent residence. Pacific movement to New Zealand has been gaining momentum since the early 1990s and, although the mix of contributing Pacific countries might change, Pacific migration is likely to continue to be significant.
