Many in Beach Haven have been very concerned about the recent proposal for 81 dwellings at 96 Beach Haven Rd/13 Cresta Ave, when the site is zoned single house zone.

The public meeting in January attracted 180 local people who were not opposed to development at the site, but very concerned at the unexpected scale of the proposal, the inadequate local infrastructure and the numerous breaches of the Auckland Unitary Plan.
In the attached PDF is the official feedback on the proposal from the Kaipātiki Local Board. We believe that it makes a mockery of the city being able to plan properly for growth.
It is a significant infringement of such magnitude that we have been left asking "what is the point of the Unitary Plan, Residential Zones or indeed any development rules, if they could be discarded to this extent?"
- Submissions are now closed and we are waiting for a date for a hearing.

We encourage our Tāmaki Makaurau whānau to use this time to get prepared.
With potential for heavy rain and strong winds, surface flooding and slips are possible and strong wind gusts could damage trees, powerlines and unsecured structures.
How to get prepared:
1. Stay up to date with the latest weather warnings from MetService: www.metservice.com...
2. Make a household plan that includes your pets, in case you need to evacuate.
3. Have a grab bag with essential items ready to go.
4. Be prepared for possible power outages and check emergency supplies. In a storm you could be stuck at home for up to three days.
5. Clear debris and leaves from drains and gutters to help prevent surface flooding.
6. Secure items like wheelie bins, trampolines, outdoor furniture, boats and trailers. Bring items inside or tie items down that could move in strong winds.
7. Check on your friends, whānau, neighbours and anyone who might need your help, especially those who have already been affected by recent flooding.

So we’ve created Flooded with Love - a space to recognise our people: those who helped with the clean up, rescued a pet (or a neighbour), pushed cars out of water, directed traffic, loaned out equipment, shared shelter, or simply stopped for a supportive chat or a cup of tea.
Help us tell these stories and recognise the goodness that exists in our communities.
