1. SUMMARY

1.1 The purpose of this Evidence Report (Report) is to set out an overview of the pattern

of zoning and precincts under the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) for the

southern area of the Auckland region. The southern area insofar as this evidence is

concerned, comprises the local board areas of Howick, Ōtara –Papatoetoe,

Manurewa, Papakura, Franklin and part of Māngere-Ōtāhuhu (Ōtāhuhu is dealt within the evidence for central Auckland). In preparing this statement of evidence, I have

relied upon the evidence of John Duguid dated 3 December 2015, for Topic 080

Rezoning and Precincts General (Topic 080) and Topic 081 Rezoning and Precincts

(Geographical Areas) (Topic 081) which sets out a strategic overview of the council’s

approach to zoning and precincts within the PAUP. In his evidence Mr Duguid

quotes the strategic direction provided by the Auckland Plan, including how to

achieve the development strategy. A key direction of the development strategy for

urban Auckland is to “create a stunning city centre, with well-connected quality town,

villages and neighbourhoods”. Mr Duguid also mentions three priorities for urban

Auckland from Section 10 of the Auckland Plan, namely to achieve quality compact

substantially. It also ensures that the southern area retains its strong economic

function and that business areas are continued to be provided for. Housing New

Zealand Corporation which is a key land owner in the south, has sought to increase

its ability to redevelop its housing stock more intensively in the future through the

PAUP process and will be an important contributor to achieving the goal of becoming

a quality and compact city. The southern area is host to a range of activities and

infrastructure of vital importance to the wider Auckland region such as the water

supply from the Hunua ranges and the Waikato River, horticulture, Auckland

International Airport, electricity transmission corridors, liquid fuel and gas pipelines

and roading and rail networks and the Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant.

1.5 The zoning approach proposed ensures a balance that will enable development to

occur while safeguarding the values and qualities that make the southern area

unique and special. Mana Whenua have strong cultural and historic links with many

parts of the southern area and these are reflected in the approach taken in areas

such as Puhinui.

1.6 Although the urban population of the southern area far exceeds that of its rural

hinterland, a very significant proportion of the southern area is rural in character and

l d ff i f l lif t l h i I i f th i tt ti

protection, rural production, and activities connected to the rural environment, and to

support rural settlements, living and communities.

1.9 The rural south is well served with facilities and the motorsport events at Pukekohe

are well known, as are the sports events held at the Ecolight Stadium, home of the

Counties Manukau Steelers. Examples of high quality facilities in the urban part of

the southern area include the Auckland Botanical Gardens at Hill Road, Manukau

which is a key attraction for residents across the region. Other major facilities include

Middlemore Hospital, the Manukau Institute of Technology, Auckland University of

Technology, Auckland International Airport as well as Ardmore Airport, north of

Papakura, which is New Zealand’s premier location for general aviation and flight

training.

5. STATUTORY AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

5.1 The statutory framework is detailed in the evidence of John Duguid, dated 3

December 2015, and has not been repeated here.

6. RELEVANT PLANNING DOCUMENTS

6.1 The evidence of John Duguid makes specific reference to the New Zealand Coastal

Policy Statement 2010 (NZCPS), the Auckland Plan and the Regional Policy

Statement (RPS) in the PAUP.

6.2 In his evidence Mr Duguid highlights the provisions of the NZCPS that are of

particular relevance for zoning. While these provisions are not repeated here, theyare of relevance to the southern area which has a long and diverse coast. It includes

the rugged beaches of the Awhitu peninsula, the wide expanses of the Manukau

Harbour, the Tamaki estuary which penetrates deep into Otahuhu and Otara, the

Tamaki Strait off Howick and the Firth of Thames in the east. The coastline of the

southern area is a prime asset for the communities of Auckland and is not only

i ifi t d t it it l b t it i l f i t l lt l d


8/68

6.5 While Chapter 10 of the Auckland Plan focusses on Urban Auckland, including how

to achieve the development strategy, a significant proportion of the southern area is

rural. Strategic Direction 9A in the development strategy for Rural Auckland

indicates the need to “keep rural Auckland productive, protected and environmentally

sound”.

6.6 Mr Duguid’s evidence outlines the key sections of the Regional Policy Statement

which need to be given effect to through the application of zoning and precincts. This

is relevant to the southern area where zones and precincts have been applied to

provide for growth in a way that achieves a quality compact urban form and

supported by adequate infrastructure whilst taking into account the values associated

with a sustainable city and region. Mr Duguid also lists key principles that underpin

the zoning proposed by the Council. The zoning approach for the south proposes

urban growth within the Metropolitan Area 2010 and concentrated around existing

centres, for example, Papakura, Botany, Papatoetoe and Manurewa. While it allows

for growth the zoning approach also maintains a balance by protecting those features

and qualities of importance to Auckland such as historic character and cultural

values.

Manurewa and Papakura. TSI operates in partnership with government agencies,

the local community and other key stakeholders. The purpose of TSI is to address

high social need and develop the human and economic potential of the area, with an

emphasis on early childhood education, skills, pathways for young people after they

leave school, employment for local residents and housing. The Southern Initiative is

one of two key place-based priorities in the Auckland Plan and is made up of a

number of priorities over a 30-year timeframe. The zoning approach proposed for

the southern area ensures that land for a range of business activities is provided for

which would contribute to the generation of employment opportunities for local

communities3.

Area Plans

6.10 Since 2011 the Council has completed a number of area plans for the southern area.

These are spatial plans and follow the same geographic boundaries as local boards

and are intended to:

(a) help implement the directions and outcomes of the Auckland Plan at a local

level

(b) fl t l l i ti h th i l d d i l l b d l ( h

informed the development of planning provisions for the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu

area in the PAUP.

(b) The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Area Plan provides a framework to support the growth

and development in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area over the next 30

years. It sets out a vision, key moves, projects and initiatives to support the

needs of the diverse ethnic and youthful community in the area.

(c) The Pukekohe Area Plan outlines the Franklin Local Board’s vision on how

Pukekohe will grow and change over the next 30 years as well as outcomes

and actions that will help achieve this vision. It identifies the areas of Future

Urban zoned land that could potentially be zoned for residential, business and

industrial use in the future, subject to structure plan investigations and plan

changes. The Auckland Plan identifies Pukekohe as a priority satellite town

for 50,000 people and employment for 9,000. This area plan was the basis

for the location of the RUB in the notified PAUP and for the extent of the

Future Urban zone proposed in the PAUP for Pukekohe.

(d) A further spatial plan developed in the southern area is the Pakuranga Master

Plan. This plan presents the Howick Local Board's aspirations for the


13/68


14/68

communities in south-west Auckland. It will also aim reduce congestion on

airport road links and supporting growth in the broader south-west and

providing economic benefits to the region as a whole. It further aims to

enable improved public transport efficiencies for the whole rapid and frequent

service (RFN) network.

(d) For public transport, roll out of AT’s “New Network” is a major initiative aimed

at maximising bus travel patronage around a core of rapid and frequent

services. The structure of the New Network and how and where it is to be

applied in the South is explained in Parts C and D of Auckland Transport’s

joint statement of evidence for Topics 080 and 081.

(e) The construction or upgrade of public transport stations and interchanges at

Otahuhu, Manukau and Pukekohe.

(f) Undertaking park and ride extensions at Pukekohe and Papakura.

(g) In addition to the above initiatives, AT has identified a number of projects that

will be required to support land release and alleviate key issues related to

this. Many of these projects are not budgeted for and do not have a definite

will inform a discharge consent application for a new sub-regional wastewater

treatment plant at Kingseat intended to be lodged in October 2016.

6.17 In view of above, rezoning in the South-West part of Franklin to provide for expansion

of serviced rural towns and villages is generally not supported beyond what is

provided in the notified PAUP6.

Stormwater

6.18 In the southern area, a number of major stormwater projects are being implemented,

mainly in the Takanini area to remove constraints on development of greenfield areas

that have been zoned for urban development7. These include the following:

(a) Artillery Tunnel Project. This is a one kilometre long tunnel from McLennan

Park to the Pahurehure Inlet which is to service growth in Takanini and is

programmed for implementation between 2015 and 2017. This tunnel will

reduce the risk of widespread flooding for the future residents, properties and

infrastructure in the Takanini 2a and 2b areas that form part of the Tranche 3

Special Housing Area known as the Takanini Strategic Area.

(b) Takanini Conveyance Cascades. This is a new open channel incorporating

Urban (North and East)

7.3 The Urban (North and East) topic area falls primarily within the Howick Local Board

Area, and is located in the south east Auckland region. It includes the suburbs of

Pakuranga, Farm Cove, Half Moon Bay, Eastern Beach, Bucklands Beach, Howick,

Cockle Bay, Botany Downs, Dannemora, Somerville, Golflands, East Tamaki and Flat

Bush.

7.4 The residential Mixed Housing Suburban zone is the predominant zoned applied to

these residential areas with pockets of Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings zone

and Mixed Housing Urban zone around the centres. There is a large area of Single

House zone between Howick Village and the coast to the east and there are some

smaller pockets of Single House dispersed through the topic area.

7.5 The main centres are Pakuranga, Botany Downs, Howick Village, Highland Park,

Botany Junction and Flat Bush, with pockets of Light Industry zoned land in Howick,

Golflands and along Ti Rakau Drive.

7.6 The main arterial routes in this area are Pakuranga Road, Ti Rakau Drive, Ti Irirangi

Drive, Whitford Road, Cook Street and Chapel Road, most of which are served by the

development beyond the average site size control within the MANA, is reduced to

minimise the effects of aircraft noise on residents.

7.9 The Urban (North and East) area contains the following precincts:

(a) Botany Junction

(b) Flat Bush

(c) East Tamaki

(d) Howick Town Centre

7.10 The provisions for the Howick Town Centre precinct are addressed in the evidence in

chief provided by Lisa Mien for Topic 029 - Special Character.

Highbrook

7.11 Highbrook comprises one of Auckland’s most significant industrial areas.

Predominantly zoned Light Industry in the PAUP, Highbrook also contains a core of

Heavy Industry zone located to the west of Harris and Springs Roads. The type of

business activity varies across the area from office/business park, warehousing, and

19/68

Urban (Central and West)

7.15 This topic area is comprised of a variety of residential zones from Single House to

Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings. It also has a mix of established Town,

Local and Neighbourhood Centres which are well located in relation to the transport

system and appropriate to accommodate development of higher intensity such as

enabled by the Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings zone and Mixed Urban

zone. Much but not all of the area has access to major road and rail transport

infrastructure, including the RFN.

7.16 The area has a strong multi-cultural character. It is also located in close proximity to

a wide range of employment opportunities such as at Wiri, Otahuhu, Mangere,

Manukau and the Auckland International Airport which is a major driver of investment

in Māngere and also a significant employer. The Manukau Institute of Technology

and Auckland Institute of Technology have tertiary education campuses at Manukau

and Otara, and are consolidating their presence through further investment in their

facilities. The area is well served by open space and both active and informal

recreation facilities. Middlemore Hospital is located in this area and offers hospital

and specialist healthcare services for the population of Counties Manukau which

7.19 The Urban (Central and West) topic area contains the following precincts:

(a) Rosella Road

(b) Mangere 1

(c) Mangere 2

(d) Mangere Gateway

(e) Mangere Bridge

Urban (South)

7.20 As with Papatoetoe and Otahuhu to the north, Manurewa forms part of the historical

north-south spine centred on the Great South Road which has historically developed

and is characteristic of Auckland’s predominantly linear form. It is well connected

with arterials both east-west and north-south, and has good access to a passenger

rail service and the Southern Motorway.

7.21 The area is primarily residential in nature, and largely zoned Mixed Housing

Suburban, with more intensive zones of Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings


21/68

7.23 The commercial core of Papakura has been assigned a Metropolitan Centre zone in

the PAUP. The extent of Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings and Mixed

Housing Urban proposed in proximity to the centre is considered appropriate, apart

from certain flood-hazard related modifications. As is the case with Takanini,

Papakura is well served with both roading and rail links. The electric train service

currently terminates at Papakura Station with diesel shuttle services operating

between Papakura and Pukekohe.

7.24 The Urban (South) topic area contains the following precincts:

(a) Pararekau and Kopuahingahinga Islands

(b) Takanini

(c) Papakura

(d) Mill Road

(e) Manukau 3

Manukau and Puhinui

Industry zone in the PAUP. This is consistent with the PAUP zoning in the

immediate vicinity.

7.28 The rezoning approach in proximity to the Wiri Oil Services Ltd’s terminal (WOSL)

which comprises a hazardous facility, has relied on risk modelling to ascertain the

extent of safety risk posed by the terminal. A precinct is sought by WOSL to ensure

that no encroachment of risk sensitive land uses occur, that building design

mitigation be considered for buildings in closest proximity to the terminal and that

activities operating within proximity are aware of the risks at this location and are

suitably prepared in case of an emergency. In its evidence , Auckland Council

proposes region-wide (RPS level) provisions to appropriately manage the effects of

hazardous facilities such as the Terminal.

7.29 Some intensification is proposed in existing residential areas situated on Great South

Road such as along Rata Vine Drive, Trevor Hoskins Avenue and Inverell Avenue, all

of which are beyond 500m the Heavy Industry zone to the west.

7.30 The part of Puhinui located to the east of State Highway 20 is urban and contains

existing industrial and residential activity. To the south of Puhinui Road, existing

residential properties have been zoned Single House in view of aircraft noise


23/68

(d) Puhinui

Rural

7.33 This area covers the predominantly rural hinterland of south Auckland, stretching

from the Tamaki Firth in the east through to the Manukau Harbour coastal area and

the Tasman (Awhitu Peninsula) to the west. This is an area characterised by a

number of rural and coastal settlements (serviced and unserviced towns and villages)and surrounded by larger land holdings with Countryside Living, Mixed Rural and

Rural Production zones. It is proposed that growth in most of these settlements be

limited to achieve a quality compact urban form and in view of the disproportionate

infrastructure investment that would be required to service them in contrast to larger,

preferably established urban areas.

7.34 These settlements are largely remote from the major southern urban centres and

have limited public transport services. Within the rural Franklin area are a range of

parks such as the Hunua Range Regional Park and a number of active quarries.

Various settlements in the area have been the subject of plan changes in the recent

past (including Rural Plan Change 14 to the Auckland Council District (Franklin


24/68

7.37 This highlights the need for urban development pressures on highly productive soils

to be managed. Objective 1 of Chapter B8.2 in the Regional Policy Statement

provisions supported by the Council in Topic 011 relates to land with high productive

potential. It provides that subdivision, use and development of elite and prime land is

to be managed to maintain its capability, flexibility and accessibility for primary

production. . This objective is supported by B8.2 Policies 1 and 2. Policy 1 states

that subdivision, use and development of elite and prime land for new countryside

living is to be avoided and Policy 2 encourages activities that do not depend on eliteand prime land to locate outside of these areas. The rezoning approach for the

southern area strives to ensure that Pukekohe can develop as a satellite town in

such a way that does not undermine the productive potential, of highly productive

and irreplaceable rural land. The Auckland Plan’s Directive 9.5 identifies the need to

avoid urbanisation of highly productive farmland and versatile soils where possible,

and to maintain adequate separation between incompatible land uses

7.38 Pukekohe is the main rural urban centre and is located on the main trunk railway line

which currently operates a diesel shuttle connection to the electrified service that

ends at Papakura. Pukekohe is connected to Auckland by State Highway 22 and

Pukekohe East Road, which connect with State Highway 1 to central Auckland.

wastewater treatment plants at Rosedale, Māngere, Army Bay and Pukekohe; and

14 non-metropolitan schemes which service around 65,000 people in the rural

townships of Franklin and Rodney9.

8.3 A number of interrelated projects will provide additional wastewater capacity within

Auckland’s existing urban areas, including the southern area. One of these is the 13

kilometre long Central Interceptor Spine from Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant

to Western Springs, which is to be completed over the next ten years. It will replace

an ageing system and provide additional capacity in central, southern and eastern

Auckland as well as deliver environmental benefits. It is also intended to provide

additional optimisation works to maximise investment in the Central Interceptor Spine

through collector and link sewers with an anticipated timing of 2026 - 2035.

8.4 A future Northern Interceptor project will divert flows that are currently conveyed to

the Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant north to the Rosedale Wastewater

Treatment Plant. Through reducing the load on the Māngere Wastewater Treatment

Plant, this project will make available further capacity in central, eastern and southern

areas of the city.

8.5 The Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant solids stream upgrade is planned for the


27/68

site placement capacity. It will also hold operational and financial benefits and

improve the capacity for growth in areas within the Māngere Wastewater Treatment

Plant catchment.

Water Supply

8.8 The following significant projects relating to Auckland’s water supply are planned for

the southern sub-region over the next 30 years10:

(a) Runciman Road Reservoir: The provision of additional storage reservoir

capacity to maintain security of supply standards for increasing water demand

arising from growth. The timing is 2015-2025 and is currently at planning and

consenting stage.

(b) Runciman Road Reservoir No.2: This project is generally an expansion of the

Runciman Road Reservoir project (see description above) aimed at ensuring

regional water supply capacity to meet growth. The timing for this work is

2026-2035.

(c) Waikato Water Treatment Plant No.2: The provision of additional water

abstraction, treatment and conveyance capacity from the Waikato River.


28/68

Pipelines

8.10 Four major transmission pipelines owned and independently operated by separatecompanies traverse the southern area. These transmission pipelines are critical for

the effective functioning of the region and need to be taken into account as part of

the future development of the southern area, including with respect to reverse

sensitivity issues that may arise as the southern area becomes more intensely

developed over time. Wiri in particular, is strategically important for safeguarding the

city’s storage and distribution of gas and liquid fuel11. The key pipelines are:

(a) the natural gas pipeline between Taranaki and Westfield

(b) the oil pipeline between Marsden and Wiri

(c) the aviation fuel pipeline between Wiri and Auckland Airport

(d) The LPG pipeline between the Marine Terminal in the Papakura Channel and

Wiri.

9. KEY PROJECTS WITHIN THE SOUTHERN AREA

9.1 In addition to the previously discussed AMETI and investigations into airport transport

improvements, the following is an overview of key activities in the southern area that

will result in significant change and will impact positively not only on the areas in

which they are located but on the wider city as well.

Drury South

9.2 A key transformational initiative in the southern area is the 361ha Drury South

project. This is aimed at increasing Auckland’s business and employment capacity

through the establishment of a large area of industrial zoning adjacent to the Drury

Quarry. A supply of appropriately zoned and serviced industrial land is important to

achieve Auckland Plan’s social and economic objectives. The project will provide for

construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade and distribution activities, and generate

approximately 6,900 jobs at Drury with a further 19,100 across Auckland. A

contribution to regional GDP of $2.3 billion is estimated once the area is fully

developed.

Pukekohe


30/68

stormwater upgrades and improvements, and the electrification of the passenger rail

service to the town. Sources: Sources:

Flat Bush

9.6 Flat Bush is a comprehensively planned town under development on 1,700ha in

south east Auckland. By 2025 it is expected that this area will accommodate

approximately 36,000 residents. The development includes five neighbourhood

centres and has a strong focus on quality open space, high urban design standardsand environmental sustainability.

Auckland International Airport

9.7 Auckland International Airport Ltd ( AIAL) is a key contributor to the economy of

Auckland and that of New Zealand. The airport is not only the country’s gateway for

13 million air travellers per annum as well as handling $13 billion of air freight, but is

also a major driver of highly successful business development in the Mangere area,

employing approximately 20,000 people.

9.8 With 92% of international passengers who travel to NZ landing in Auckland, the

airport’s importance to tourism, NZ’s second largest industry, is significant. As


31/68

The Redoubt Road - Mill Road corridor will serve local growth, consistent with the

Auckland Plan and PAUP, and provide for local traffic between emerging

metropolitan centres. The function of SH1 on the other hand, will be to accommodate

sub-regional and inter-regional traffic. The real benefits will be achievable by

upgrading both corridors.

9.11 The Mill Road extension is important to support residential and employment growth

expected in these areas as well as to create an alternative north-south local

connection without reliance on State Highway 1.

10. PRECINCTS WITHIN THE SOUTHERN AREA

10.1 The notified PAUP contains 27 precincts in the southern area and submissions to the

PAUP seek an additional 41 new precincts. Mr Duguid’s evidence on precincts dated

3 December 2015 explains the council’s management of the requests for new

precincts, including the criteria applied to determine whether requests for new

precincts pass an initial gateway test. Of these new precincts, 17 in the southern

area failed the gateway test. Four will not be pursued as they fall within Special

Housing Areas. One precinct has merged with another and one precinct has been

11. APPROACH TO ZONING WITHIN THE SOUTHERN AREA

11.1 This section of the Report provides an overview of the Topic 081 submissions

received for the southern area together with certain key zoning changes that are

proposed to the PAUP as notified. It does not provide a detailed assessment of

submissions received, nor are planners’ reasons for proposed positions provided in

relation to these submissions. The justification for proposed positions on

submissions is covered in the tier 3 zoning evidence reports for Topic 081.

11.2 The basis for zoning changes in the southern area is to give effect to the Regional

Policy Statement chapter of the PAUP, in particular the quality compact urban form

approach and to meet the other statutory criteria discussed in Mr Duguid's evidence.

Zoning changes have also been guided by the application of a suite of zoning

principles that Mr Duguid raises in his zoning evidence. Zoning principles have also

been applied to areas where no submissions have been received, ie “out of scope”

submissions. In the case of the southern area, most of the zoning changes resulting

11.5 In the southern area of Auckland, the zoning approach results in a pattern shown in

Attachment D with the characteristics outlined below.

11.6 Higher intensity residential and business development will occur around the

metropolitan centres of Botany, Manukau and Papakura. In the case of Manukau

which is already well-established, the zoning approach seeks to consolidate the

current function of the centre and optimise its advantageous position in relation to the

north-south spine with its good access to rail, the Southern and South Western

motorways and Great South Road, including the RFN. The zoning pattern will also

reinforce the well-developed activity corridor that exists from Otahuhu southwards to

Papakura. The topography of the town centre locations along this corridor generally

lend themselves to walking and are in many instances suitable for Terrace Housing

and Apartment Buildings and Mixed Housing Urban. The locations of many of these

town centres in proximity to rail stations further enhances their appropriateness forhigher intensity residential and business activity and also provides housing choice to

communities.

11.7 A key feature of the southern area is its well-established industrial areas at Wiri,

Otahuhu and Highbrook as well as at Auckland Airport, all of which are vital to the


40/68

11.10 The zoning approach for unserviced rural and coastal settlements, most of which fall

in the Franklin area, is to limit growth through the application of the Rural Coastal

Settlement zone. Many of these settlements are in locations with poor access to

urban centres and public transport and remote from existing or planned infrastructure

and facilities. The PAUP’s zoning approach is aimed at ensuring that infrastructure

provision is delivered in a way that maximises return on investment and therefore

piecemeal growth in small settlements is not considered an efficient growth

management option.

11.11 In the Urban (North and East) topic area the zoning approach proposes more intense

residential and business development in the Botany Metropolitan centre, town

centres such as Howick and Flat Bush as well as along sections of the main arterials

such as Pakuranga Road, Ti Rakua and Te Irirangi Drives. No major changes are

proposed to the zoning around the centres in this topic area, including to THAB andMixed Use, apart from certain minor adjustments. Submissions seeking a reduction

in the THAB, Mixed Housing Urban and Mixed Housing Suburban in proximity to the

Botany Metropolitan Centre are not supported as it is considered necessary for the

future effective functioning of AMETI that densities around this metropolitan centre be

more intensive as proposed in the notified PAUP. Overall, the zoning as proposed in


41/68

11.14 The Manukau and Puhinui topic area currently comprises both urban and rural areas.

The zoning approach for the Manukau Metropolitan Centre is to consolidate its

current role as a prime location for retail, entertainment, office and residential

activities. The presence of the eastern approach to the Auckland International airport

and the consequent HANA corridor will restrict residential activity to the north of the

metropolitan centre where the General Business zone is considered more

appropriate. Submissions seeking for intensification to Terrace Housing and

Apartment Buildings to the south of the metropolitan centre, including and MixedHousing Urban along Great South Road, where aircraft noise restrictions do not

occur, are generally supported. Great South Road is located on a RFN with the

Manukau Metropolitan Centre and Manurewa Town Centre in reasonably close

proximity.

11.15 In the Wiri industrial area, located to the south of the topic area, it is proposed toretain the approach that provides for a significant amount of Heavy Industry zone.

There is also support for the rezoning of former quarry zoned land at Wiri to Heavy

Industry zone, is in line with Private Plan Change 36 (Auckland Council District Plan

(Manukau Section)). The linear distance from proposed residential intensification to

the south of the Manukau Metropolitan Centre is sufficient to ensure that no reverse


42/68

11.18 The rezoning approach for the Urban (Central and West) which is an area comprising

of established residential suburbs is essentially the same as the notified PAUP, with

the exception of a few cases of residential upzoning in Mangere. Many centres in

this topic area have characteristics that render them suitable for Terrace Housing and

Apartment Buildings and Mixed Housing Urban zones. As mentioned earlier the

Otahuhu – Papakura corridor have favourable attributes such as:

(a) Close proximity to a wide range of employment opportunities in centres and

industrial and business areas, such as the airport, Wiri, Highbrook, Manukau

and Otahuhu

(b) Close proximity to social infrastructure such as for example, Middlemore

Hospital, the Manukau Institute of Technology, Auckland University of

Technogy, a wide range of sport, open space, social and cultural facilities and

the Botanical Gardens

(c) Close proximity to good quality transport systems and networks such as the

upgraded passenger rail service, the RFN, Great South Road and other

arterials and the Southern and South Western Motorways


43/68

included proposed changes in Mangere between the town centre and Massey Road

as well as along East Tamaki Rd in proximity to the Otara Town Centre.

11.21 The zoning approach in the Urban (South) topic area is not dissimilar to the one

proposed for Urban (Central and West) as the former is effectively a continuation of

the urban corridor southwards to Papakura. The retention of the proposed Town

Centre zone at Manurewa and Takanini is in keeping with the Auckland Plan's

centres hierarchy, achieves the Town Centre zone objectives and gives effect to the

RPS. Requests seeking to rezone to Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings and

Mixed Housing Urban properties that are not located in close proximity to a centre,

do not have good access to a RFN and therefore do not align with the Terrace

Housing and Apartment Buildings zone objectives, are not supported.

11.22 The existing largely undeveloped area north east of Takanini which has previously

been the subject of numerous plan changes, is proposed to be zoned Future Urban

zone. The development of this area both for residential and business activity in the

longer term, will assist in providing impetus to the emergence of Papakura as a

metropolitan centre. As mentioned earlier in this evidence, a number of key

infrastructure projects are either planned or underway in this topic area to ensure that


44/68

zone are proposed in parts of Pukekohe within 500m of the town centre and

the train station. Although intensification in the centre of Pukekohe is

supported, the submissions requesting high intensity zones in other areas

such as on Pukekohe Hill are not supported as this would undermine the

area's rural landscape character, the heritage values and amenity values of

the hill's northern slopes.

(b) Ensuring that rural land with high productive potential is managed to maintain

its capability, flexibility and accessibility for primary production. This includes

land in proximity to Pukekohe which is proposed to be rezoned from Future

Urban Zone to a rural zoning.

(c) Supplying adequate land for industrial activities and particularly for extensive

industry and heavy industry as in the case at Drury South, and light industry

in certain parts of Puhinui, south of Waikauri Creek.

(d) Limiting of growth in unserviced settlements in rural and coastal areas

through the application of a Rural Coastal Settlement zone. Overall while

submissions seeking the retention of urban zones within the rural settlements

are supported, the proposed position is not to allow any higher intensification


45/68

their current extent is the most appropriate method for achieving the objectives and

implementing the policies of the RPS.

11.27 It is also considered that the significant investment required to facilitate expansion of

the above settlements is a strategic decision, which rather needs to be considered in

the wider Auckland context, including the ability to service rural and coastal towns

with the necessary infrastructure.

11.28 In coastal settlements such as Beachlands which have been the subject of a numberof fairly recent plan change decisions seeking expansion, it is considered appropriate

to adhere to the direction provided by the Environment Court decisions and to

integrate these in the PAUP provisions. It is considered preferable to not

accommodate further growth than provided for by the Environment Court decisions

issued until the Stage 4 RUB work is undertaken.

11.29 Limiting growth in areas with poor accessibility to the urban centres, public transport

and infrastructure constraints is proposed. Examples of this would include towns and

settlements such as Waiuku, Patumahoe and Kawakawa where although there is

some interest in expansion, the constraints are such that it would not be appropriate

to support growth in view of the high per unit cost of infrastructure that would need to

evidence for the southern area. The southern area evidence provides further detail

and context in relation to the responses set out in Attachment C to that evidence, and

the Council planners who prepared that evidence will be able to assist in responding

to any questions on the Auckland-wide submissions.

13. CONCLUSION

13.1 In this evidence I have provided a sub-regional overview of the southern area of

Auckland including a description of its geography, an overview of key infrastructure

as well as initiatives that will have a transformational impact on the wider area. I

have also explained in broad terms the outcome of the zoning approach followed in

the southern area to give effect to the Regional Policy Statement, have regard to the

Auckland Plan and achieve the other relevant statutory criteria.
