Onehunga

In March 2018, a High-Level Project Plan for Onehunga was approved by Auckland Council, giving us the green light to progress our work in regenerating the area. The plan pinpoints the key actions that need to be taken, including making better use of properties the council owns.

With significant landholdings already owned in the area, the sites have the potential to deliver around 650 new residential units and 16000sqm of new retail and commercial space, as well as numerous upgraded and enhanced public spaces.

The vision and goals are:

• To enhance and restore the natural environment
• For a sustainable, enabled, connected community.
• For a step change in housing.
• To stimulate local growth, investment, and innovation

With the strategic moves being:

• Building on the existing community strengths – people and central place
• Encouraging smart growth with quality, connected communities
• Celebrating the industrial character and local productivity
• Creating a healthy, activated foreshore environment
• Integrating Onehunga with the Manukau Harbour.

Since the approval of the High-Level Project Plan, we have been working to develop the Onehunga Masterplan.

The Masterplan looks to make the most of the neighbourhood’s cultural diversity and history, natural features, excellent location, and transport connections.

The Masterplan includes the projects planned across three key areas:

• Waiapu and Dress Smart
• Te Pūmanawa o Onehunga
• Onehunga Wharf

The projects within these precincts contribute to create a thriving town centre and further enhance Onehunga as a location of choice for Aucklanders by delivering:

• New homes and commercial premises
• New public spaces and amenities
• Improving transport and community connections
