Verran Mews Community Meeting
You're invited to a public meeting on "Verran Mews", which is a fast-tracked proposal for 110 swellings at 19a-25 Verran Rd and 19 West Glade Cres.
đ
When: 7pm Thursday 14 March (next week)
đ Where: Verran School hall, Verran Road
This will be an opportunity to hear an update from Melanie Kenrick, myself and neighbours on the proposal, and to share your views with the community.
The proposed development is for 110 dwellings, community facilities and new private roads, even though about half of the land is zoned as Single House Zone.
The application is being processed under the COVID-19 Fast Track legislation, which means that a decision on it will be made by a panel of experts without public submissions or a hearing. However the KaipÄtiki Local Board is able to provide written comments on behalf of the community.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnât have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
