Background information regarding this project

[patumahoe village incKeymaster]

Patumahoe Village Inc was formed in response to the discovery that Franklin District Council had no plans to enhance or upgrade our community facilities and spaces to offset the impact of the large scale residential development that was taking place.

Apologies to Mauku residents and property owners for the chosen name for our community group, which was formed in some haste in order to apply for a funding grant from the soon to be dismantled Auckland Regional Council.

The LIDIG (Low Impact Design Implementation) grant was awarded to help us consult with the communities of Patumahoe village and Mauku in order to come up with a concept brief that identifies what we value and love about our corner of the world.

It is our intent to submit a community designed Structure Plan to Auckland Council, that addresses the currently unresolved issues of commercial zoning, community spaces and linkages, and future proofing our communities for years to come.

In order to do this we have designed a consultation plan to help us get in touch with as many residents as possible.

* offer free membership to the Patumahoe Village Inc community group;
* hold open monthly meetings for all residents;
* hold street parties for all residential streets in Patumahoe/Mauku;
* open day to display opinions/information gathered so far
* provide online community website to publish results and invite further discussion.

You are welcome to participate in any capacity and also continue to pursue your own individual submissions on any planning issues or decisions to council. This project is focused on the mitigation of growth – rather than any discussions for or against.
