To the east the Ward is bounded by the Tamaki River with Manukau City occupying the land on the eastern shore of the river, thus cons ti tu ting an adjoining local authority. The Manukau Harbour also abuts the Ward boundary at its south western corner. There are several dominating topographical features within the Ward which have varying degrees of significance in planning terms, with consequent effects on the land use pattern. These are: Mount Wellington (Maungarei) The Panmure Basin (Kaiahiku) Hamlins Hill (Mutukaroa) Mount Richmond (Otahuhunui) Winstones Quarry Tamaki Estuary Foreshore The remaining areas of the Ward are now substantially developed and are characterised by gently sloping land falling towards the Tamaki River in the east and the Manukau Harbour in the south west. The Ward's land use pattern is distinctive, with a heavy concentration of industrial uses located in a band from Gavin Street in the west down the Great South Road to the Otahuhu Ward boundary, and from the shores of the Manukau Harbour across to the Tamaki River, between Hamlins Hill and Mount Richmond and up to Page 37 Waipuna Road. There are further concentrations of industry to the north west in the Marua Road-Lunn Avenue area, to the north east of Mount Wellington in the Morrin Road area and south of Mount Wellington on the Mount Wellington and Ellerslie-Panmure Highways. The Southern Motorway and the North Island Main Trunk Railway both bisect the Ward with most of the industrial development being located in close proximity to these facilities. Residential development within the Ward is concentrated in three general locations: 1. To the north and east of the Panmure Basin down to the Tamaki River. 2. To the east of the Mount Wellington Highway at the southern end of the Ward down to the Tamaki River. 3. To the north of Hamlins Hill up to and north of the Ellerslie Panmure Highway and across to the Panmure Basin. Commercial development within the Ward is dominated by the Panmure Centre in Queens Road, with small local centres scattered throughout the residential areas, and an intermediate sized centre developed at the Penrose Road, Mount Wellington Highway intersection (Sylvia Park}. The character of the Ward is influenced by its industrial development and busy Panmure commercial centre, which contrast with pleasant residential areas close to the water and on the more elevated land. The amenities of the Ward are enhanced by its significant natural attributes of volcanic cones, river and harbour Page 38 frontage, and the pleasant open grass land on Hamlins Hill adjoining the motorway, which forms the gateway to central Auckland and the isthmus, for travellers from the south. 4.2 POPULATION 4.2.1 Trends Historically, the population pattern of the former Mount Wellington Borough was characterised by rapid growth after the Second World War and through the 1950's. The growth rate dropped off during the 1960's and slowed significantly in the first half of the 1970' s. The 1981 census figures indicate a loss of population of over 1100 people between 1976 and 1981. This is typical of the inner parts of the Auckland Urban Area, with development and growth being concentrated in the outer areas. Most Local Authorities adjacent to Mount Wellington lost a similar percentage, 0tahuhu (2.4%) the least, and 0nehunga (7.6%) the most. More general factors which have resulted in a decline of the population of Mount Wellington are an aging population, declining birthrate, reduced immigration to New Zealand and increased emigration by New Zealanders. The latest inter-censual figures indicate this trend is changing and the Auckland region as a whole is experiencing significant growth. (Auckland Region key facts 1984 ARA). Page 39 POPULATION CHANGES MOUNT WELLINGTON (1945-1981} CENSUS TOTAL POPULATION INTER-CENSUAL CHANGE NUMBERS 1945 2043 1951 7330 5287 +258.8% 1956 11990 4660 + 63.6% 1961 16031 4041 + 33-7% 1966 18857 2826 + 17.6% 1971 20178 1321 + 7.0% 1976 20533 355 + 1.8% 1981 19398 -1135 - 5.5% Source: Previous District Scheme and 1981 Census of Population and Dwellings. The slowing down of population growth is primarily due to the now built up nature of Mount Wellington, with relatively little residential land having been developed since 1971. There is also little remaining unsubdivided land zoned residential available for future development. A noteable feature of the Mount Wellington Ward is the difference between the resident population and the daytime population. Because of its large area of industrial development, which provides employment on a regional scale, the daytime population rises to an estimated 40,000 people.

The trend towards · an older population structure is typical of the older developed Auckland suburbs which tend to have a significant proportion of households without children. This is largely because children from the housing developments established in the late 1950's have grown up and left Page 41 home. The decline in the population also reflects this trend which should now level off. The 15 - 64 year age group accounts for the bulk of the population, and is over represented in Mount Wellington. This is largely due to the range of job opportunities within the Ward and in adjoining local authority areas. The high proportion of people in the working age group means that there will be a continuing demand for housing in the Ward as this group is the most active in household formation. The increase in the number of people over 65 years may sustain a demand for smaller household units, including pensioner housing.

Page 43 Between the 1976 and 1981 Census there has been a 5.1% decrease in the percentage of Europeans in Mount Wellington. The percentage of Maoris and Polynesians is increasing. The Indian Community while still small numerically, also increased. Compared to the Auckland Urban Area as a whole, the percentage of both Maoris and Polynesians is well above average, particularly Maoris. 'This has implications in terms of the differing social and cultural aspirations, values and needs of the Maoris, Polynesians and other groups.

Average occupancy is 2. 8 people per household which shows a decline from the 1976 census figure of 3.1 and is typical of the adjoining Boroughs.

  • Auckland Region Climate Change Projections and Impacts
    Auckland Region climate change projections and impacts: Summary Report Revised January 2018 Key projections for the Auckland CBD Warming of the climate is unequivocal, with temperature increases already influencing the intensity and frequency of many extreme events across the globe. Auckland Council and Council Controlled Organisations commissioned the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) to provide climate change projections, including high-resolution maps for the Auckland Region. This work will help support greater resilience and sustainable decision-making under a changing climate. This summary presents some of the key findings of the full technical report and some of the potential impacts and opportunities for the Auckland Region. RAINFALL TEMPERATURE Rising temperatures Increasing rainfall extremes (PPaga e 2) (Page 3) More frequent drought Marine and coastal change (Page 4) (Page 5) SEA LEVEL RISE LEVEL RISE SOIL MOISTURE MOISTURE Four future emissions scenarios, called Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), capture climate model uncertainty. Highlights are shown here for the “Business as usual” scenario (RCP8.5) where emissions continue unabated, and for a “Mid-range” scenario (RCP4.5) where future emissions stabilise. Many different models are run using each RCP, and model outcomes can vary significantly. While the average of these outcomes is often treated as the most likely result, all outcomes within the range are plausible. More details on uncertainty estimates can be found on Page 6 and in the full technical report. TEMPERATURE Auckland Region mean annual temperature increased by about 1.6 °C over the past century. All climate change scenarios indicate temperatures will continue to warm across Auckland in the future.

    PART 2 - CONTENTS PART 2 PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS 2.1 THE FORM OF HOWICK 2.2 GROWTH OF HOWICK 2.3 ETHNIC ORIGIN OF POPULATION 2.4 EMPLOYMENT 2.5 DWELLINGS AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDING 2.6 CONTEXT OF THE PLANNING SCHEME HOWICK THIRD REVIEW PART 2 - PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS 2.1 THE FORM OF HOWICK 111 Howick settlement has existed since 1847 and is today a well established residential suburb. It is located on the shores of the Hauraki Gulf, approximately eleven kilometres north of Manukau City Centre, at the perimeter of the urban area. The Hutchinson Road and Bradbury Road ridges define the western boundary of the district. Continuing from the latter ridge is the topographical backbone of Howick, the ridge which the main road follows, with its high points at Stockade Hill and Minerva Terrace. On the seaward side, a series of ridges and valleys slope toward the cost. A number of these are marked by streams with considerable tree cover. On the landward side, the main ridge forms a basin with a southward orientation which drains to the Tamaki River. The hilly topography has had a strong effect on the roading network with many roads following the ridges. It also means that most parts of the District can enjoy views either of the sea, the countryside or of a suburban landscape. Three major factors have made Howick an attractive residential location. First, the considerable length of north-east facing coastline and beaches backed by sloping land with extensive views to the islands of the gulf.
