Residents’ group Mangawhai Matters has lodged an appeal in the Environment Court against private plan change 78, which permits the construction of hundreds more houses at a development in Mangawhai.
It is anticipated Viranda’s Mangawhai Central development, located on 130ha of land between Mangawhai Village and Mangawhai Heads, will accommodate more housing, a town square, supermarket, hardware store, petrol station, retail shops and light industrial buildings.
Other possibilities touted by the developer include recreational facilities, a school, retirement accommodation, a hotel and a medical centre.
The plan change was adopted by Kaipara District Council on April 28 on the recommendation of a panel comprising two independent commissioners and the deputy mayor.
