They have been deemed surplus to transport needs and this plan proposes they be cleared for sale. The properties are: • 3 Paynes Lane • 45 Waller Street. These sites will provide a catalyst for change for the town centre precinct and ideally incorporate a mixed-use development fronting Paynes Lane and Waller Street. Development could also be integrated in some way with the adjoining Dress Smart retail centre to connect Dress Smart to the main street. The adjoining landowner has shown some interest in buying the site. If residential accommodation was provided, it would need to be on the upper oors fl of a building; lower levels would not be ideal due to the built-out boundaries on adjoining sites. The height limit of these sites are 27m or about six storeys under the town centre zoning, up to a maximum of 32.5m-34.5m with the Maungakiekie view shaft overlay. The site’s GFA potential is about 11,000sqm. PANUKU DEVELOPMENT AUCKLAND 78 8.2.2 WAIAPU LANE BLOCK Five properties totalling 10,730 sqm in this block have shor potential (two to fi ve years).
