The plan to develop Stillwater Motor Camp into residential housing has been altered, effectively reducing the number of lots proposed from 19 to 16.
The 1.59ha motor camp in Duck Creek Road sits on a peninsula that extends across tidal mudflats into the Weiti River Estuary. It has been a campground since the 1950s.
Ever since the property was sold five years ago, there have been rumours that development is imminent. It was purchased in 2017 with an underlying consent for a 19-lot subdivision already in place, but that was due to expire last August.
A further consent, amending the subdivision scheme (in part to reduce the number of Lots) and extending the time that the consent is valid until August 2026 was approved by Auckland Council last September.
There is also another consent, which permits a communal boat parking yard and communal centre to be built. The existing seawall is to be replaced.
The owner of the site, Stillwater Holdings Ltd, has six directors, all based in Auckland. There is only one local director – Paul Wigglesworth of Silverdale.
