Feedback on 81 dwellings proposed for 13 Cresta Ave and 96 Beach Haven Rd

John Gillon from

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.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
