Let this vessel that carries my greetings Andy Baker
travel by way of the Tāmaki River Chair
to the landing place of Tainui canoe at Ōtāhuhu. Franklin Local Board
There, let my salutations be borne across the isthmus to the Pūkaki lagoon
and the community of Māngere.
Paddling the Manukau Harbour
we follow the Āwhitu Peninsula to the headland.
From there we fly down coast to the Waikato river mouth,
sacred waters of our forebears.
Coming ashore on the Northern side
at Maioro we head inland to Waiuku and Mātukutureia,
there too is the Pā at Tāhuna and Reretewhioi.
Heading southward I come to Pukekohe.
My words turn to follow the ancient ridgelines along the Southern boundary,
dropping down into Mercer and Te Pou o Mangatāwhiri.
My greetings reach you at Kaiaua
who gaze across Tīkapa Moana to the sacred mountain, Moehau.
Taking to the sea, my remarks travel to Maraetai
and then to Ōhuiarangi, sentinel to Pakuranga.
There we follow again the Tāmaki River
to Te Puke o Taramainuku, Ōtara resides there.
From here I reach for Manurewa
until my greetings come to rest on Pukekiwiriki

DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES This section identifies the outcomes needed to support improved employment opportunities, a thriving town centre, social
benefits and tertiary education opportunities for Pukekohe residents into the future. The outcomes will also help to improve
the wider community wellbeing and attract visitors, investment and expenditure to the area.

INFRASTRUCTURE OUTCOMES
This section identifies the outcomes needed to help provide improved transport and infrastructure in Pukekohe. The
outcomes will also provide for efficient infrastructure provision as the Future Urban Zone is developed, as well as
maximise the opportunities that land use development around public transport facilities can bring.

4. GROWTH OUTCOMES
As Pukekohe is anticipated to have significant population and employment growth over the next 30 years, the area plan
needs to consider where new residential, business, local centres and open space could be located. This chapter identifies
how to deliver well-coordinated growth that provides housing choices and more employment opportunities.
