Vision
Ā te tau 2030 ka tupu a Awataha hei hapori hihiko me te
pokapū manaaki e whakanui ana i ngā tikanga ā-iwi, e rahi ake
ai ngā mahi pakihi, e ea ai hoki ngā tūmanako o te katoa.
The Northcote of 2030 will be a growing community, with a
lively and welcoming heart that celebrates culture, and where
business thrives and everyone’s needs are met.
The Northcote Framework Plan (November 2016) set out an ambitious vision for a regenerated Northcote
anchored on community, culture and business. One of the Plans four key moves was the regeneration of the
Town Centre.
In 2017 following the acquisition of several buildings, the Board of Panuku Development Auckland resolved
that all of the land and buildings in the Town Centre should be included in the urban renewal.
This Benchmark Masterplan for the Town Centre presents an exciting vision for Northcote Town Centre. It is
underpinned by urban design and Te Aranga design principles, delivering a lively and welcoming Northcote
with community, culture and business at the heart. It promotes a comprehensive, staged development with
new buildings that are fit for their 21st Century business purposes. It aims to build on the best of the key
characteristics of the Centre that the community value - pedestrian areas, the elm tree on Pearn Place, the
alignments of key streets, a public realm with flexibility to adapt to accommodate large community events and
festivals and most importantly its human scale and activity.
The new Northcote will have a greater mix of housing types delivering over 2000 new homes, with up to 750
of these within the Town Centre in apartment blocks up to eight stories tall. It will have a new multi-purpose
community facility, which will include a library, connected to a new town square.
There will be a network of pedestrian priority streets and lanes, framed by high quality buildings, with a vibrant
mix of uses including community, retail, commercial and residential. This street network will provide excellent
connection to the local community and its recreation spaces, including Greenslade Reserve, Cadness Reserve
and the Greenway.
The Benchmark Masterplan includes high quality public spaces for informal gathering, outdoor dining,
markets, and larger festivals enabling the community of Northcote to live, linger, work and play in their Town
Centre.
