Project Summary
Project Summary
Hobsonville
lies on a peninsula of land extending in to the Upper Waitemata Harbour and is
located approximately 11km north-west of Auckland central. Buckley Ave is a key
street in Hobsonville Point, and runs through the area formerly used as the
Hobsonville Airbase. Following
the decision to dis-establish the airbase this land was subject to a masterplan
process to allow the development of a new Auckland suburb, with new housing,
schools, businesses and open spaces being constructed. The overall site is 167ha and has been broken
up into large precincts for which “Comprehensive Development Plans” (CDP) were
prepared to guide their development. Buckley
Ave gives its name to the Buckley Hobsonville CDP which covers a significant
portion of the overall development area.
This area of the peninsula has been recently developed as the first part
of the neighbourhood. Buckley Ave
continues in to the “Sunderland” precinct which will be developed over the
coming years.Buckley
Ave is an important street in this masterplan.
It is not the main vehicle route through the site, so has been designed
with its function as a key pedestrian route in mind, and it’s wide corridor
will serve as a community space for informal recreation, while connecting
several community hubs.The
street was designed in conjunction with the land uses that will run along it,
to ensure that these are complementary to each other.http://www.hobsonvillepoint.co.nz/http://www.hobsonvillepoint.co.nz/publications
