Public Meeting - Wednesday 5th March

As advised in our December Newsletter, TOES will be holding a Public Meeting to update members on progress to date. In particular, we will reveal key aspects of a 10+ hectare foreshore restoration feasibility study commissioned by Transit.

This is potentially the most exciting public works improvement to be undertaken in the Onehunga area within living memory. Driven by local community advocacy, it is achievable, affordable and within our grasp.

But it has the potential to slip away if we do not get local and national political buy in to make it happen. This commitment is needed by 30 April 2008.

Please do come along to find out why, show your support, listen and have your say.
Public Meeting details are as follows:

Where: R.S.A (Returned Services Association)
Cnr Onehunga Mall & 57 Princes Street, Onehunga

Date: Wednesday 5th March

Time: 6.45pm for 7pm start.


Transit has commissioned a feasibility study for alternative motorway options taking into account the TOES Vision Statement.Whilst the project is shown as feasible and affordable, we must now convince Government, ARC ACC, Transit and DOC by 30th April 2008 that this is what our community requires to repair the damage to the Onehunga foreshore over the last 50 years.

Relative agencies need to commit to funding the project. Political influence is required to make it a reality, particularly around consents and permits.

Flyer Delivery: Volunteers Required!
Volunteers required to help deliver flyers advising of future public meetings. If you or a family member can donate an hour or so to deliver flyers in your area in future please contact d.arthur@auckland.ac.nz
