6.0 Appendices Hibiscus Coast Subdivision 1.0 Introduction and Background Section Heading - sub text Figure 24. Army Bay. Charlotte Grieve, 2016. 6.1 Analysis Maps Hibiscus Coast Subdivision Auckland Context This map shows the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area in its wider context within the Auckland Isthmus, located along the east coast of the North Shore. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is split into two subdivisions; Hibiscus Coast Subdivision and East Coast Bays Subdivision. For the purposes of the analysis mapping that follows, each subdivision has been presented separately in order to allow the information to be read at a legible scale. The area is bordered by Rodney, Upper Harbour, and Devonport - Takapuna Local Board areas. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is home to a number of local town centres, including Orewa, Whangaparaoa, Silverdale, Northcross, Browns Bay, and Mairangi Bay. At this scale there are a number of items of interest to be considered in the creation of a Greenways network: • The Te Araroa national walkway runs along the coast of this area. • There are no rail services to the area. • SH1 runs along the western edge of the Hibiscus Coast subdivision. • The board area has an extremely high ratio of coastline to land area. • In terms of overall size, this is one of the largest non-rural board areas. A more detailed analysis of the underlying factors that have shaped this Greenways plan is explained in this section, the Hibiscus Coast subdivision first, followed by East Coast Bays. LEGEND: Hibiscus Coast Subdivision State Highway network Te Araroa Walkway (national walkway) N East Coast Bays Subdivision Railway Park and Reserve Land Ferry Routes Not to scale Auckland Council | Hibiscus and Bays Greenways | 49 Aerial This aerial photograph shows the broad landscape patterns of the Hibiscus Coast division of the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area, within its surrounding context. The land generally slopes eastward towards the Hauraki Gulf, with views out across the water to the Whangaparaoa Peninsula and Tiritiri Matangi. The coastline is made up of jagged, rocky headlands enclosing sweeping sandy beaches. Other than the beaches, the coastline is generally in steep sandstone cliffs, bisected by a sequence of estuaries. The other dominant landform is the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, which juts out into the gulf, terminating at Shakespear Regional Park. Local development patterns can be clearly seen at this scale, with the township of Orewa occupying the flat coastal plain north of the Orewa River, and development continuing southeast across the inlet, and then eastward throughout the flatter areas of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. More recent development can be seen pushing westward towards SH1. The remainder of the area is largely rural or semi-rural. Looking in more detail at the dominant land use types: • Residential Land As land values increase across Auckland, the opening up of more steeply contoured areas becomes viable, and this can be seen occurring here - with the flat land already developed, new areas are being developed in the hills around Orewa and Stanmore Bay - the contour poses some challenges for Greenways. • Rural land This subdivision is one of the more ‘rural’ remaining in the Auckland N Region, with large tracts of rural and semi-rural land existing around the Waiwera, Stillwater and Okura regions. • Industrial land Not to scale This subdivision does not have significant industrial areas, although there are some areas of light industrial/commercial located in Silverdale, along Whangaparaoa Road, and west of the Orewa shops. Industrial zoning tends to be less compatible with Greenways LEGEND: planning. • Commercial Town Centres Local Board Boundary Motorway There are a scattering of town centres along the coast, including; Waiwera, Orewa, Silverdale, Whangaparaoa, Manly, Gulf Harbour, Roads and Stillwater. Town centres typically form nodes along the Greenways network. 50 Future Projects and Growth Centres The Hibiscus Coast subdivision of the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board, is one of the fastest changing and developing areas within the wider Auckland region. Until recently the land has been relatively undeveloped and rural. Development and planning projects in this area are at a variety of stages, with some recently completed, some under construction, and others still in the planning phase. Some of the larger/more significant projects happening locally are summarised below: • Special Housing Areas (SHA). These are housing development areas set out with a housing Local Board B oundaryaccord, to provide quick development of affordable housing.

An investigation into the travel preferences and potential for ferry patronage of the residents of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula A thesis presented in partial fu lfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand. JULIET MARY HYATT 2003 ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to establish an understanding of the travel preferences of the residents of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula with a view to assessing the likelihood of future patronage of a ferry service from the Whangaparaoa Peninsula to downtown Auckland and to North Shore City. The factors that impact on the travel decision-making of residents in respect of ferry travel were identified, to assist both operators and local bodies responsible for the provision of transport infrastructure in their planning for improved ferry services from the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. A survey of residents of the Whangaparaoa Peninsula was conducted by way of a self-reply postal questionnaire sent to a random sample of 700 residents over the age of 20 years. The questionnaire was designed to collect data concerning current travel behaviour and stated preferences in respect of ferry travel. A total of308 completed questionnaires were received. A second self-reply questionnaire was administered by the researcher to patrons of the current Gulf Harbour commuter ferry service.

Following on from our report in March, we’ve seen yet another month of sometimes frantic activity! Following February’s 51% increase in sales compared with January, March recorded a further 19% increase to a total of 7,330 sales nationally, the first monthly sales result exceeding 7,000 since the market peak in 2007. Recent media, NZ Herald amongst others, are already trumpeting the return of values to the previous highs of the 2007 peak, however there are clear performance differences in regions and also in both market/price segments and property types within these regions. Clearly the main urban centres of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch continue to lead, especially in Auckland being buoyed by positive migration. The First Home Buyer price range is also heavily influencing these sales figures, on the back of increasing rents, rising economic confidence, continued low mortgage rates and relaxing of deposit criteria from lenders being some of the drivers behind this. So it’s important to understand these key drivers, and the differing markets or market mixes in the property stock, to understand the current direction of the property cycle. This is why, as Valuers, the greatest part of completing a registered valuation report is the analysing of comparable sales similar to the property being valued with size, locality, value range, demographics and quality all prime considerations in this process.
