2009 Report Formatted
Corporate Responsibility Report 2008/09 From the Chairman This Corporate Responsibility Report is being released at a time of global economic turmoil. New Zealand is not immune from the pressures that are buffeting world markets and national economies. It is salutary to consider that the causes of our present difficulties derive in large part from unwise investments in the housing sector in the USA. It is also noteworthy that many governments around the world have put in place infrastructure investment packages designed to stimulate a rapid recovery from recession. Many of these are environmental enhancement and new housing projects. For our part, the Board of the Hobsonville Land Company is delighted that we have the final go-ahead from our Government for the Hobsonville Point development. The investment in creating a new town of 3000 houses will provide a real stimulus for the regional economy in the years ahead. This is a greenfields project, one where we start from scratch and design a new town. It is a big job and our Board has been committed from day one to applying best practice in urban design to maximise the quality of the finished product. We have a fantastic site with great natural attributes and we are determined to create a living and working environment with high amenities and a cohesive community. Our commitment to best practice includes applying modern environmental principles within the overall spending cap. We have looked carefully at stormwater management and how that can be integrated into the landscaping of the site. We are ensuring that houses are warm, comfortable and healthy by considering solar orientation and including high levels of insulation. -

Discovering the Hindrance of Walking and Cycling in Auckland’S Urban Form
DISCOVERING THE HINDRANCE OF WALKING AND CYCLING IN AUCKLAND’S URBAN FORM. MEYER NEESON A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Urban Design at the University of Auckland, 2020. Abstract Active transport is a fundamental element in a city’s movement network that promotes a sustainable and resilient urban future, yet can only be viable in an urban setting that supports small-scale infrastructure with appropriate street environments. The 1950’s planning regimes have been dominant within Auckland’s transport development with perpetuated traditional aims of increased efficiency and high level infrastructure which enables travel in the comfort of a private vehicle. Attitudes have formulated the urban fabric through funding and investment intervention which resulted in a strong motorway network and low density, sprawling residential suburbs. Psychological public response to this environment is reflected in the heavy reliance on the private vehicle and low rates of walking and cycling. Although Auckland’s transport framework identifies the need for walking and cycling to actively form a strand of Auckland’s transport network, institutional and intellectual embedded ideas of the 1950’s prevent implementation on the ground. The failure of Auckland’s urban form was highlighted in the period of the Covid-19; post lockdown the public reverted back to old transport habits when restrictions were lifted. This pandemic put our city in the spotlight to identify its shortfalls and the urgent need to support a resilient future. Therefore, this research aims to discover the inherent infrastructure and funding barriers that hinder the growth of walking and cycling as a transport method in Auckland. -
