Pukekohe Masterplan opens for feedback
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.

Purple Poppy Day Saturday 21st February
Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga is delighted to be working with Thames RSA to hold our town’s first Purple Poppy Day on 21st February. Purple Poppy day is held throughout the Commonwealth to honour the animals that served and died during WWI and WWII and continue to serve in current conflicts.
Our inaugural Purple Poppy Day features creatures from glowworms and pigeons to camels and elephants.
The competition on the day, PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI is a fun way to get involved, with lots of neat prizes.
PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI will be held weather permitting. All other activities will take place inside the museum is the weather isn’t so good.
