Greenfield extensions

Overview

This scenario (like scenario 3) looks at areas that are currently undeveloped, and could be potential locations for new suburbs. Both scenarios 3 and 4 would be in addition to areas already marked for new development – Upper Stebbings Valley and Marshall Ridge, and Lincolnshire Farm near Tawa. These scenarios would still require a moderate amount of growth in the inner-city and some suburban centres.

Scenario 4 features extensions into rural land adjacent to existing urban areas. Under this scenario, the growth area of Lincolnshire Farm would be extended into Horokiwi and Takapu Valley, and a rural hillside in Owhiro Bay would be rezoned to enable new housing.

Scenario 4

Scenario 4: Greenfield extensions Overview PDF - 666.16 KB

Only 29% of people agree or strongly agree that the trade-offs are best balanced in scenario four by extending suburbs around Takapu Road, Horokiwi and Owhiro Bay. While people talked about this being good for keeping people clear of hazard areas, and protecting inner city character, these positives were offest by concerns over increased commuter traffic, carbon emissions and impacts on the natural environment.

“I disagree strongly about the creation and development of satellite suburbs. It increases traffic and carbon emissions, and reduces the amount that can be spent on already existing areas.”
