An indication is given of the pattern and sequence in which development will occur and the means by which the releasing of land from rural to urban purposes will be implemented. Also included in this Part are structure plans for: Clendon Park Flat Bush Botany Road West Hill Road Woodside Heights Mangemangeroa Te U Kaipo Westney Road Massey Road Oruarangi South 3.1.2 Urban Development Strategy 3.1.2.1 Plan 3A gives an overview of Council's urban development strategy. The primary aim of the Council's future development policies is to achieve by way of controlled development the consolidation of the City in order to improve transport linkages and create a better relationship between home, work, shopping and recreational facilities. The Council has recognised the significance of the following factors in developing its urban development strategy: (a) provision of a rational sequence of development; (b) provision of continuous transport links, particularly suitable for public transport; (c) provision for new residential development in close proximity to major employment generators and existing urban facilities; (d) utilisation of commitments to existing services; (e) the demands of the market for various types of land; (f) utilisation of natural topographical features as constraints to urban expansion and the preservation of those natural features; (g) protection of rural areas from unnecessary urban encroachment; (h) provision for protection of archaeological sites and waahi tapu will be considered.

This Area is to be developed primarily for residential purposes balanced by employment generating uses. Plan 3A indicates that urban development will ultimately be contained by the ridgeline to the east of East Tamaki which provides a natural urban boundary. Low density residential development along this ridgeline will provide a transition between urban and rural uses. The Planning Maps show a proposed scenic road along this ridgeline from Redoubt Road to Ormiston Road. This road will ultimately connect Redoubt Road with Point View Drive. 3.1.2.3 The urban boundary to the east of Manurewa has been set with regard to a balance between protecting soils of high value for food production and ensuring that residential areas to the east of the Southern Motorway are of sufficient size to support an adequate range of commercial, educational, recreational and community facilities. 3.1.2.4 The western extent of urban development in the City has largely been determined with reference to the Auckland International Airport Vicinity Plan. This plan, jointly prepared by the Council and the Auckland Regional Council contains recommended zones for the Puhinui Peninsula, Selfs Road, Pukaki, Oruarangi and lhumatao areas based on the criteria of noise, airport development plans, soil quality and similar matters. In the area beyond that covered by the plan the western extent of urban ( development in Mangere has been set with regard to protecting high quality soils from unnecessary urban encroachment, providing a buffer against the sewage ponds and difficulties in servicing the land. 3.1.3 New Urban Zoning 3.1.3.1 Residential Manukau City's population grows by approximately 4,000 persons per annum from natural increase and net migration. Associated with this fairly rapid population growth is an ongoing demand for new residential accommodation which results in the construction of some 1300 new dwellings each year. This development involves the annual subdivision of some 100 ha of previously unsubdivided residential land. Although there are yearly fluctuations according to a range of economic and social factors, it is anticipated that over the years this Scheme is operative there will be an average annual uptake of 1 00 ha of unsubdivided residential land throughout the City. Council has a policy of maintaining at all times a reservoir of zoned, serviced residential land of sufficient size to accommodate at least eight years growth. Eight years supply is required because this is the time frame involved in the transformation of unserviced, unsubdivided land into a residential community nearing capacity, through all stages of development. Monitoring has shown that approximately one year's supply of land is held in the form of subdivided sections at all times, leaving the need for a seven year reservoir in order to attain this policy. As from mid-1991, some twelve years supply will be required in order to ensure that seven years supply is still in hand by the time the Scheme is next reviewed. The demand for new housing and consequently for subdivision of residential land is not constant across the City. The different geographical parts of the City tend to form different land markets, each with their own housing type and rates of development. In order to meet the anticipated demand for residential land in the various parts of the City, after taking into account the amount of vacant residential land currently in each area and the annual rate of uptake, the following rezonings have been undertaken in this Review: Ward Locality Area (ha) Pakuranga/Otara Mangemangeroa and 180 Te U Kaipo Mangere Westney Road 33 Massey Road 15 CITY OF MANUKAU -3- SECOND REVIEW PART 3 - NEW AND FUTURE URBAN EXPANSION The release of this land has been planned to occur in compact units so that each new residential neighbourhood is able to utilise educational, community and commercial facilities already established in adjoining areas until new facilities are ( available within the new neighbourhood. 3.1.3.2 Industrial In conjunction with the City's substantial annual population growth, the growth in industrial development involves an average annual increase of 44 ha in the area of occupied industrial land, over 80% of which is in the East Tamaki, Manukau Central and Ascot industrial areas. It is Council's policy to maintain a reservoir of industrial land of sufficient size in order to balance the release of land for residential purposes with that for employment generating purposes. This is important to ensure that the supply of jobs grows in proportion to the ever increasing number of workers resident in the City. Failure to do so would result in an increase in the job deficit and the need for an increasing proportion of workers to commute to work in other parts of the Auckland Region. Using a rationale similar to that outlined above regarding residential land supply and demand, enough industrial land should be zoned in each locality and market segment to ensure a reservoir of eight years supply at all times. However, almost ( all of the smaller industrial areas are constrained by existing development around them and there is no scope for increasing their extent once fully developed. Of the larger industrial areas, analysis shows that there will be sufficient zoned land available to meet the anticipated demand until this Scheme is reviewed again without the need for additional rezoning in all areas except for East Tamaki. 20 hectares of land in East Tamaki, bounded by Ormiston Road and East Tamaki Road has been rezoned to Industrial 1 . If current rates of uptake of industrial land continue as anticipated, further land will need to be rezoned within the East Tamaki area for industrial/commercial purposes at some point before this Scheme is next reviewed. 3.1.4 Future Development Zoning and Staging 3.1.4.1 Zoning Plan 3A shows the extent of the Future Development zone. The zoning is aimed at ensuring a controlled transition from rural to future urban use and, in the interim, emphasis will be given to the protection of the rural character of these areas. The future development zoning provisions are incorporated in Part 12 of the Scheme. The Future Development zones have been divided into three successive stages for development in accordance with the overall objectives and policies for the growth ( of the City. Each stage will only be released for urban development when the Council is satisfied that the demand for the uses intended for each particular area can be substantiated in terms of the provisions of the District Scheme, and that the location of such development will constitute a logical extension of the urban area, particularly in terms of the bulk servicing programme. The following paragraphs include brief descriptions of the land included in the three stages shown on the Planning Maps. 3.1.4.2 Stage One (a) The largest parcel of Stage One land is the area lying within the northern portion of the East Tamaki Corridor.
