The review involved the assessment of New Zealand Historic Places Trust and Manukau City Council records along with site visits to the study area, to ascertain whether there are any additional built heritage features that should be identified for protection in the District Plan. In addition, existing identified built heritage features in the District Plan were reviewed with a view to confirming whether their continued protection was warranted. Recommendations are made on potential changes to the District Plan.

  • Auckland District Plan
    Chapter 17.10 Flat Bush Page 1 17.10 Flat Bush [AM50][AM167] 17.10.1 Introduction The Flat Bush area covers approximately 1730 hectares of land adjacent to the southern boundary of the Auckland Regional metropolitan urban limits. Manukau City Council has identified the area as suitable for a mixture of urban and semi-urban development. As part of Council's responsibilities to promote sustainable management of the area, the likely effects of urban development have been examined. To assess and manage these effects in an integrated manner 'integrated catchment' based planning approach is considered necessary. As a result the Flat Bush area covers a larger area than the original 'Future Urban Development' zone. [AM49] Consultation with the community and stakeholder workshops resulted in adoption of a development concept for the area in 1999. This provides the basis for the provisions contained in this section. The zonings and plan provisions for Flat Bush are not inconsistent with the Auckland Regional Policy Statement and reflect the policy position of the Manukau City Council and the outcomes of the Auckland Regional Growth Strategy. These promote greater opportunities for more intensive building styles, along with greater attention to environmentally sound urban development approaches. The Flat Bush area is bounded in the north by Browns Lane. Its western extent is defined by Te Irirangi Drive. The southern boundary of this area is generally defined by Redoubt Road. The eastern extent is defined by the continuation of Redoubt Road which follows the top of the catchment and is proposed to be extended to join with Ormiston Road.

  • This Is the Story of Tupu - the Dawson Road Youth Library
    1 World Library and Information Congress: 69th IFLA General Conference and Council 1-9 August 2003, Berlin Code Number: 200-E Meeting: 154. Asia and Oceania & Public Libraries Simultaneous Interpretation: - Tupu - Promoting ‘New Growth’ through Innovative Resources and Services to Youth Daniel G. Dorner Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, New Zealand Introduction This is the story of Tupu - the Dawson Road Youth Library. Tupu is located on Dawson Road in the Clover Park area of Otara in Manukau City, which is one of six municipalities that form New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland. Otara is the poorest part of Auckland, and indeed, is most likely the poorest urban area in all of New Zealand. Today I am going to talk with you about the innovative resources and services offered at Tupu to the youth of Clover Park, and more importantly, about how and why those services came to be. The data that support this paper were gathered through interviews with many of the key people involved in creating Tupu, during a five-month period around the time of its official opening on 1 August 2001. These key people included the mayor of Manukau City, two Manukau City Councillors who were representing the people of Otara and were the main political proponents for the creation of Tupu, local primary and secondary school teachers, community gatekeepers such as the minister of the Samoan Church located right next door to the library, teachers from local schools, families in the Clover Park area of Otara, and the Manukau City library staff who helped create and staff Tupu.

  • Residents' Perceptions Towards Asbestos Contamination of Land And
    RESIDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS ASBESTOS CONTAMINATION OF LAND AND IT’S IMPACT ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES SANDY BOND University of Auckland and DAVID COOK CB Richard Ellis, New Zealand ABSTRACT Contaminated land issues have become more contentious with the introduction of environmental legislation in many western countries and the subsequent rise in the number of damage claims from land contamination that often result in litigation. This paper summarises the results of a study that focuses on residents’ perceptions towards a specific type of land contamination: asbestos contamination. In particular, the study investigates the attitudes and reactions of property owners living in a case study neighbourhood towards living on or near asbestos- contaminated land and how this might impact on property values. The results will be of particular interest to affected landowners, local authorities that have jurisdiction over the land, and valuers where compensation claims are being made against such property. Keywords: Site contamination, asbestos, stigma, property values, public opinion surveys.
