Papatoetoe Historic Heritage Survey 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Papatoetoe Historic Heritage Survey (HHS) is part of the broader Auckland Heritage Survey (AHS) programme that identifies, understands and manages heritage throughout Auckland. Led by the Auckland Council Heritage Unit, the AHS is a multi-year programme that helps implement the Auckland Plan by increasing survey coverage of the region, increasing the number of places on the heritage schedule, and gaining community satisfaction with the council’s management of historic heritage. The AHS programme uses a survey methodology guided by the Historic Heritage Area Assessments: Draft Interim Guidance (October 2012), to ensure consistency in how historic heritage places throughout Auckland are identified and evaluated. This methodology was used to create the Level 2 Papatoetoe HHS. 1.1 Purpose and scope The purpose of the Papatoetoe HHS was to carry out a Level 2 survey of the Papatoetoe portion of Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area. The level 2 (Rapid), reconnaissance level survey involved research, documentation, identification and recommendations for potential historic heritage places, special character and community values within Papatoetoe, in order to identify and better understand the area’s heritage values. The Papatoetoe Level 2 HHS intends to provide the foundation for ongoing study, by improving our understanding of historic heritage and enabling recommendations for future management, including places and areas for a Level 3 survey. The scope of this study followed the AHS programme methodology for Level 2 surveys, and included the following: • Preparation of a Historic Context Statement, supported by appropriate maps and a list of proposed themes. • Identification and mapping of existing and recorded historic heritage places and areas, sites of significance to mana whenua and natural heritage features. • Creation of a “study List” of potential historic heritage places1 that may be eligible for scheduling, and areas that may be eligible for a special character overlay using the prioritisation tool. • Engagement with the local community, including the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board, local historical societies and stakeholders and members of the public. • Preparation of a high-level “Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats” (SWOT) analysis, relevant to the area and provides strategic management recommendations. 1.2 Study area The Papatoetoe HHS boundary (Figure 1) includes the Papatoetoe subdivision of the Ōtara- Papatoetoe Local Board area. It covers an area of over 2,200 hectares and unites approximately 10,600 parcel boundaries. The area is loosely bordered by the Manukau Harbour, Tamaki River, south-western motorway and southern motorway, and
