Changes coming to the Waiapu Precinct
We’re proposing some changes to the Waiapu Precinct in Onehunga’s town centre.
Panuku Development Auckland, supported by the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board, is exploring what Onehunga’s Waiapu block could look like in the future. The Waiapu block borders Church Street and Arthur Street adjacent to Onehunga Mall, including the parking lot next to the supermarket and the green space in the centre.
These are some of the things we are thinking about in the Waiapu Precinct:
• Improving public open space
• Creating walking and cycling paths through the site
• Providing new homes and places for businesses
We need your feedback
• Go online to to provide feedback.
• Or submit your feedback in person at the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board office, 7-13 Pilkington Road, Panmure.
Submissions close 1 March 2020.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
