Q4 What is
one thing you think is missing in the Henderson-Massey area, which you feel
is extremely important for the future

Planning

No for crying
out loud. What new Zealand needs is affordable living for the future
generations and for bigger family’s to have apartments units that are 3
bedrooms as the biggest unit with reasonable Outdoor Living Space shared
playgrounds maybe even a community swimming pool in the middle of the
development for comfortable and affordable living we got kids sleeping in
cars just because someone doesn't have money doesn't mean they shouldn't live
a happy healthy life and get with the rest of the world and get central
heating and air. To get rid of the mould problem

Q6 Do you
have any further comments about our proposed local board plan

Planning

Great to see
use being made of empty land but I think that the units for the elderly would
be better on the council car park land as it is closer to the shops and
transport and the family housing( stage two) would be better close to the
schools.

local board
plan feedback, Had a good time, but try telling a 2 year old they have to
wait half an hour or longer to get on to the snow , missed out, bigger snow
area and bigger castles for more kids to fit on, loved the variety of food to
choose from.

As others have
mentioned, multiple play areas to allow less wait times & a couple of
different slope options would be fantastic too. Fingers crossed it's on again
next year as my 2.5yr old had a blast. Thanks.

Snow in the
park is a great event; it's the only opportunity my kids along with so many
others get to experience snow. If anything I think there should be more snow,
multiple play areas and a scaled down slope for the smaller kids along with
the big slope for older kids and adults

Henderson-Massey
Local Board...I would like to know why it has taken the council 40 years to
replace the units at Wilsher Court, and I certainly hope that they will be
better maintained than the ones that were demolished due to lack of
maintenance.

This is nothing
new to this site. The name Wilshire Village was used for the previous council
owned complex that Waitakere City removed from the very same site. Council
board should be ashamed of the plan to reinvent the wheel. Henderson -Massey Local

Local Board
Plan feedback. I think it will be great to have more quality homes in
Henderson. I just hope everyone is catered for. Families, singles, couples,
etc. I hope they are as well designed and not a concrete mess.

I don't think
it should continue its just outgrowing itself really there's not really that
much to do tbh in ways of activities and it’s a logistical nightmare in
its current location in terms of traffic royal park in Massey

This is a good
thing. But I questioning the council site. Where staff park etc. turned into
housing for families. Where are the cars going to park? Adding the words
'local board plan feedback' so my comment can get some answers.

I have read, or
tried to, my Henderson Massey Local Board draft ”Plan”Pae korri,
there is a lot of emphasis on Maori, yet only 16% of the population, and
miniscule few of these could associate their trace of pre European ancestry
to the area. Only a tiny fraction of the 16% likely understands the dominant
space filling Maori words. For the rest mostly meaningless. The terms may be
fashionable in Council circles but are gobbledygook to most of the productive
population who do not have time to pursue the Maori language hobby, but have to
concentrate on the main language of the productive world. Only a tiny
fraction of the 16% likely understands the dominant space filling Maori
words. For the rest mostly meaningless. The terms may be fashionable in
Council circles but are gobbledygook to most of the productive population who
do not have time to pursue the Maori language hobby, but have to concentrate
on the main language of the productive world. All Maori terms require a
translation following. There also needs to be statement that all translations
are direct. What exactly is a mihi? What is kaupapa Maori entrepreneurship?
The cover piece, with a person in not Maori traditional dreadlocks, looks
like Harlem gang members. Whilst it may be typical of West Auckland, it is
not an image to be promoted. I am not convinced that constant emphasis on
matters Maori and effective shifting of control of many features to them,
will improve their lot, or that of the rest. It separates them and fosters an
arrogant “it’s all rightfully ours anyway” mentality which
does not make for harmonious integration with the rest of the community. Just
one example of this is the antics of young Maori fare dodgers which make
western line rail travel so unpleasant. Other behaviour generally regarded as
somewhat unbefitting an advanced society is also justified. The Treaty
requires Maori to be treated equally as others. In most matters, requirement
beyond this is a mostly a modern promoted interpretation. For every activist
who may be drawn by the Board’s Maori indulgent, I suspect scores of
positive others are discouraged from taking an interest in Board affairs. Hi,
I came with my grandchildren and we had a fabulous day, if the money is there
keep funding it-families can't always afford to pay for days out so these
days are lifelines for them.
