The Patumahoe Community has a great track record with community projects. For instance relocating the Scout and Girl Guides building next to the school
Te Ara O Whangamaire
Connecting 2 Auckland Council Reserves across private land. A volunteer community led initiative in consultation and support from local Iwi and AC. All construction and ongoing maintenance has been done by the community.
Patumahoe Village Inc consulting with the Community about planning the future. Over 400 people came along.
In the 1850s it is well documented that Patumahoe was a thriving settlement of Ngati Tamaoho who grew European crops and ran a flour mill through to when the land was confiscated in 1863.
Community Buy In
With bringing back to life a community treasure there is more potential for community support. Eg:
Volunteer mound wall construction and sourcing of rocks Planting of ground cover plants Maintenance of pathway and summit area Perhaps some more funds for more detailed plans On going community consultation
What a panned summit view will be like with no mound once houses are built
(already compromised by approx 150 degree by existing buldings)
With proposed subdivision approx only 60 degrees of view to South West would be retained from ground level. Any buildings hedges etc over 2m to the South West will eliminate any remaining views. There is no protecting of the remaining views.
