Welcome the Te Papa peninsula of 2050:
Walking and cycling to local centres and public transport takes only 10 minutes; it is safe and provides access to local culture and amenity 🚲
A mix of four to six-storey buildings have appeared along Cameron Road and in the main centres, with retail, cafés and commercial uses at ground floor, and residential homes above.
In the residential areas, duplexes, townhouses and apartments have developed over time and made it possible for more people to buy houses and apartments that suit their needs. Home ownership is up, and more people are renting too 🏡
The economy is thriving with more businesses providing jobs and services for a community that has grown by 15,000 more people living in the area. And while people are going on about their life in a compact neighbourhood, parks, walk and cycleways as well as access to the harbour and estuary are provided for everyone to enjoy.
People feel connected to their community, in an environment that reflects its heritage, diversity and culture. It’s a place people from all walks of life identify with and call home.
This is the future of the Te Papa peninsula, supported by the 30-year implementation programme of the spatial plan, approved by Council today 🙌

FARMERS PURCHASING
JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.
Only the Sharpest Minds Will Get This Riddle… Are You One of Them?
I twinkle and glow, guiding paths in the snow.
I’m not the sun, moon, or star in the sky,
yet on rooftops and trees, you’ll see me up high.
What am I?
