Crown to buy and demolish harbourfront homes worth $23m to build Auckland's new cycling bridge

Abigail Dougherty/Stuff
Seven homes are set to be demolished to make way for the $785 million stand-alone walking and cycling bridge over the Waitematā Habour.
The Public Works Act 1981 gives the Crown power to acquire land needed for road works. In the first instance, landowners are asked to negotiate their terms, but if an agreement can’t be made, the Minister for Land Information (Damien O'Connor) may acquire the land by law.
Carolyn Kitchenman has lived on the street for 26 years. She said the sale of her villa to Waka Kotahi was finalised in October last year.
Kitchenman has until January before she needs to move out, but is yet to find a house to meet her needs.
