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.
