Feedback on 81 dwellings proposed for 13 Cresta Ave and 96 Beach Haven Rd
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: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
