Pukekohe Masterplan opens for feedback

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from Franklin County News

Kia ora neighbours,

Locals are invited to check out the Pukekohe Masterplan as it opens for public feedback.

Eke Panuku, Auckland Council’s urban regeneration agency, has been working with mana whenua and the Franklin Local Board on the 10 to 15-year plan to improve the town for the future.

From July 29 until August 31, consultation is open on the entire plan, which includes ideas for safe connections, improved parking, and upgrading character buildings.

Pukekohe Business Association president Rupert Ross said Eke Panuku had shown its willingness to listen to feedback, in particular about maintaining plentiful parking spaces.


“It definitely looks like it will make Pukekohe a great place to live, work and play with opportunities for new business and new restaurants.”

Every Saturday in August from 9am-1pm, Eke Panuku staff will be on site in the Town Centre to talk to the public about the plan.

Eke Panuku will review feedback throughout September and in October the design team will start working on any changes.

The new design will go back to the Franklin Local Board and the community from February 2023.
