This piece of land on the corner of Hiwi Crescent and Whangaparaoa Road (opposite Scott Road) will soon be put on the market by Auckland Council (Panuku Development Auckland).
The 809m piece of land at 8 Hiwi Crescent, currently a grassed area, is the remainder of property acquired by the former Rodney District Council in 1998 to widen Whangaparaoa Road.
Ownership was transferred to Auckland Transport (AT) when the councils amalgamated and the AT board resolved in November 2015 that the land was surplus to requirements.
The plan to sell it was made public in Hibiscus Matters a year ago. The Hibiscus & Bays Local Board delayed the sale process as long as it could – making sure members had sufficient information from Auckland Transport to base a decision on.
The land is zoned Residential – Single House and has a capital value of $530,000.
At its May 16 meeting, the local board endorsed the disposal of the land. It also requested that, as the property was acquired for road widening in conjunction with Penlink, that the sale proceeds be transferred to the Penlink project budget.
