Dear Drury Resident
Drury Development Update
Vast tracts of Drury farm land have already been purchased for major commercial development.
You are urged to attend a Public Meeting to be addressed by Bill Cashmore, Deputy Mayor of Auckland City Council, and prime mover behind the recent approval of funds for infrastructure development in our area.
Presented by the Drury Community Committee, this evening is designed to bring clarity to what specific & proposed plans are in place, where, and what time frames can be expected – the challenges and the opportunities, AND HOW YOU MAY BE AFFECTED.
We realise that many of you will have questions, so in the interests of time, we invite you to submit them in advance of the meeting. Please send to the secretary Leigh Ingle by email to leigh.ingle@raywhite.com or drop into Ray White Drury during business hours.
Numbers for seating would be appreciated. Please phone or email either of us below:

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
80.4% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.6% No. This would be impossible in practice.
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
