The future of Northcote Town Centre
This week the benchmark masterplan for the future of Northcote Town Centre was released. The Kaipatiki Local Board has been working closely with Panuku Development over a number of years to ensure that the masterplan reflects legacy planning, community input and a recognisable Northcote character, while catering for the future needs of a changing Northcote.
The Kaipatiki Local Board has worked to secure a new community building to accommodate the existing community services in Northcote (including the Northcote Library), an open town square in excess of 1500sqm, connections to Cadness Reserve and the new greenway, and keeping the large elm tree on Pearn Place.

While the end design may differ from that shown in the benchmark masterplan, the Principles and Criteria for Success will shape the town centre to ensure that we get a similar result.
Construction is expected to start after September 2021 and the redevelopment will be phased over the next seven to 10 years, so it will continue to be a place for people to shop, eat and meet.
