Public Meeting re. Housing NZ Plans for Martin Ave
** Meeting: 7:30pm this Thursday, Oct 3rd, at Rossgrove Chapel Hall
Housing New Zealand plan to build a 3 storey apartment building covering the length of Martin Ave from Margaret Ave to Leone Tce, right beside the footpath.
3 storeys (exceeding the height for the unitary plan) with 50 Units (and 42 carparks): 12 x 1 bedroom, 15 x 2 bedroom, 18 x 3 bedroom, 5 x 4 bedroom.
Plans are very well advanced, but there has been NO consultation with the community.
The organisers of this meeting are not opposed to social housing. Mt Albert has a proud history of social housing in our community. Many homeowners here grew up in social housing and many valued members of our community are currently HNZ tenants. We also accept that some degree of intensification is desirable for these sites, but the scale and design of the proposed development brings with it many issues and raises concerns which we would like to see addressed.
Most notably:
School zones and capacity
Traffic safety
Infrastructure
Sustainability

Hi, My name is Uma. I live in Westmere. I'm currently working as a casual ECE relieving teacher in different childcare centres in the day time. I have experience working with children since 2015. I'm available to help/look after your kids in the afternoon as after school care, nanny, evening babysitting, morning school drop off or anything in the weekends.
I have my own car and full driver's license. Please contact me on 022 5854561 or email (umakumar@y7mail.com), or message me in this Neighbourly app.
This year during Term 1 and Term 2 school I have done a After School Care job (looking after 2 kids from Westmere Kindergarten & Westmere School). Now I'm available to work anytime during this Term 3 & Term 4 School.
