Public Meeting re. Housing NZ Plans for Martin Ave
** Meeting: 7:30pm this Thursday, Oct 3rd, at Rossgrove Chapel Hall
Housing New Zealand plan to build a 3 storey apartment building covering the length of Martin Ave from Margaret Ave to Leone Tce, right beside the footpath.
3 storeys (exceeding the height for the unitary plan) with 50 Units (and 42 carparks): 12 x 1 bedroom, 15 x 2 bedroom, 18 x 3 bedroom, 5 x 4 bedroom.
Plans are very well advanced, but there has been NO consultation with the community.
The organisers of this meeting are not opposed to social housing. Mt Albert has a proud history of social housing in our community. Many homeowners here grew up in social housing and many valued members of our community are currently HNZ tenants. We also accept that some degree of intensification is desirable for these sites, but the scale and design of the proposed development brings with it many issues and raises concerns which we would like to see addressed.
Most notably:
School zones and capacity
Traffic safety
Infrastructure
Sustainability

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
