FROM
Upper Harbour Local Board includes Whenuapai,
Herald Island and Hobsonville and West Harbour in the west, and
Pāremoremo, Greenhithe, Albany, Rosedale, Northcross, Unsworth and
Pinehill in the east.
The
Upper Harbour Local Board area combines two areas previously under the
jurisdiction of two separate councils. It is an area undergoing
significant change
In its
southern reaches the redevelopment of the Hobsonville airbase is home to a
new primary and secondary school, new business opportunities and a new ferry
terminal
The development of State Highway (SH) 18 has
led to significant work on planning of the Hobsonville corridor and the
Hobsonville village area.
TO
The Upper Harbour Local Board area spans a
diverse mix of established and rapidly growing communities, including
Whenuapai, Herald Island, Hobsonville, and West Harbour in the west, and Paremoremo,
Greenhithe, Albany, Rosedale, Northcross, Unsworth Heights, and Pinehill in
the east.
This
area continues to experience significant population growth, particularly in
the west, where large-scale housing developments in Whenuapai and Hobsonville
are reshaping transport demand. In the west the fast growth of housing
and increased commercial activity is placing pressure on local roads and
public transport networks. Increased development north of Albany is
putting pressure on transport infrastructure in Albany
Many neighbourhoods remain car-dependent due
to gaps in in public transport, limited local bus frequency, and a lack of
safe walking and cycling infrastructure
b)
tuhi tīpoka /
note that Auckland Transport’s forward work programme brief as appended
in Attachment B to the agenda report was received and considered by the local
board prior to making decisions on the proposed levels of engagement outlined
in the Upper Harbour Local Board Kōkiri Agreement 2025-2026
c)
whiwhi / receive
the July 2025 quarterly update on the Kōkiri / Local Board Transport
Agreement 2024–2025 as outlined in Attachment D
d)
kohuki /
consider the Auckland Transport July 2025 quarterly update regarding the
Albany Park and Ride Pre-Booking pilot project to be misleading and further
note:
i)
that the local
board do not support this project in its current form.
ii)
that the program
was supposed to allow people arriving later in the day to be able to access
parking, yet it is bookable from 6:30am
iii)
that the high
demand shown is also a demonstration of the lack of feeder buses
e)
tuhi tīpoka /
note that the upcoming implications of the Local Government (Auckland
Council) Act 2009 legislation on the Upper Harbour Local Board Kōkiri
Agreement 2025-2026 are not known at this time.
