    Housing New Zealand is considering redeveloping its social housing site at 6-8 Banff Ave in Epsom. The redevelopment could significantly increase housing density under the Unitary Plan, with the possibility of multi-story dwellings. This would help address the housing shortage but could also place extra pressure on local infrastructure like parking and services. A public meeting will be held on May 16th for the community to ask questions and provide input to Housing New Zealand's plans.

    Dear Name

    PUBLIC MEETING
    HOUSING NEW ZEALAND RE-DEVELOPMENT 6-8 BANFF AVE, EPSOM

    7.00 - 8.30pm, Wednesday 16 May 2018


    Hall, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church
    19 Banff Ave, Epsom

    You may be aware that Housing New Zealand is currently looking at ways to redevelop its existing
    social housing portfolio which includes 6-8 Banff Ave, Epsom.

    The introduction of the Unitary Plan means that Housing New Zealand has the ability to significantly
    increase the housing density on this particular site. There is a strong possibility that multi-storey
    dwelling designs will be built here.

    Understandably, with the Auckland housing shortage, (and in particular social housing) there is
    pressure to maximise the number of dwellings for each Housing New Zealand site. However, any
    new housing development regardless of whether private or public, is going to put extra pressure on
    the local infrastructure. Street parking which is already at full capacity is going to be super-stretched.
    There is also a chance that some of the future residents will have social and mental health issues who
    will need to have special support measures in place.

    Housing New Zealand have stated that they have not yet committed to re-developing the Banff Ave
    site, but you, as a member of the local community, are going to be the most affected by the
    development if and when it happens.

    That’s why it’s vital that you are involved as much as possible in the planning process.

    I’ve asked Housing New Zealand representatives to join us at the meeting on the 16th May. It’s a
    chance for you to ask some questions, voice your concerns and perhaps even offer some
    suggestions. It’s also an opportunity for Housing New Zealand to give us a clearer idea of what their
    future plans may be.

    I do hope you can join me.

    Yours sincerely

    David Seymour
