Hi neighbours. I said I would keep you all posted if any new info came to light about the future of the old villa at 59 Spring St, Onehunga.

I said I would keep you all posted if any new info came to light about the future of the old villa at 59 Spring St, Onehunga. A resource consent application proposes development of 31 terraced houses across two properties – 59 and 61A Spring Street. The old villa would be relocated. No decisions have been made and the resource consent application is still in the very early stages of processing. However, do you have any concerns about the proposal or relocation of the old villa? Would you like to see 31 terraced houses there? Why/why not? Feel free to email me kendall.hutt@stuff.co.nz. Please put NFP if your comment is not for publication.

I've found out about the future of the old villa at 59 Spring St, Onehunga. There was speculation on Facebook earlier this week it was going to be demolished. I've been in touch with Auckland Council who confirmed it does not have any kind of heritage status with them. This means council permission is not required to demolish or remove the villa from the property. The council said a resource consent application had been lodged to develop the site, but no decisions have been made on it yet. However, a representative of the new owner gave me a call this afternoon to say they won't, and never planned to, demolish the house. They want to preserve New Zealand's history and will be keeping it. They said the outside will be getting some TLC, but the villa may be relocated. I'll keep you posted if any more info comes to light.

How have you been passing the time during lockdown?
With Auckland back in Level 3, most of us are back working from the kitchen table, juggling work, school and childcare - simultaneously for some.
Last year, Stuff reported on the great array of hobbies New Zealanders picked up during the lockdown, such as home workouts and learning a few new cooking hacks. PC gaming also proved popular with Google search trends for March 2020 showing a 400 per cent search increase for the term.
