Beachlands has evolved from an early beach settlement to an expanding coastal community
Beachlands South provides an opportunity to plan and deliver a world class master-planned development in a coordinated way. It will offer modern, high-quality housing choices and lifestyles, as well as areas for new schools, a village centre, and places for local businesses in a manner that is sustainable, enhances the natural environment, supports the local community, and contributes to the wider Auckland region.
Our Vision
Beachlands South is a place defined by its symbiotic relationship with the natural environment. Seamlessly extending and connecting with the existing town of Beachlands, it draws upon the existing rural coastal character of the area. It is an innovative, regenerative and low-impact development that is sustainable and resilient and will thrive for many generations.
Presentation
Working with Mana Whenua
We are partnering with tangata whenua Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki.
Ngāi Tai exercise mana whenua and mana moana responsibilities at the Kahawairahi – Kauriwhakiwhaki (Beachlands) area.
Our collective relationships with Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki predate the establishment of the Beachlands South Limited Partnership and have been mutually strengthened during the course of the master planned approach.
Our master planning has enabled greater alignment with the environmental, social, and cultural aspirations of mana whenua.
Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki have and will be fully engaged during the plan change process as well as horizontal and vertical development anticipated across the whenua (land).
