Redzoned Auckland and Veolia (What about Papakura: 25 November 2024

REDZONED Auckland and VEOLIA (what about Papakura)

Interesting charts from Relab for information only.

A good way of seeing the value of land affected and the areas.

It does not include Papakura which is a big dark no go zone — their silence is not good. Someone must act on it. Papakura is part of this too, why can’t they have equality like the rest of Auckland?

Ethnically, the population of Papakura is nearly 25% Maori and 20% Pacifica — higher proportions than average.

How can we have equality when an entire area of Auckland is blocked out and responds to no call… Papakura has been this way for months not weeks like the rest.

For years I would plan houses, travel widely and observe communities. I also had the privilege of working for New Zealand's largest dairy company in both New Zealand and Malaysia. All the while supported by my husband and young daughter. After a while, our roles swapped and we moved to the Arabian Gulf. Meanwhile my passion for property and communities continued to simmer.

Along came COVID and had no choice but to pivot... in the words of Robert Frost, I looked for and "found the road less travelled by" and decided that maybe I could "make [a] the difference".

I look for to find insights and built a few of the houses that we need. This means a saleable house and a profitable and sustainable business.
