As the Milldale subdivision’s 4000 plus homes take shape, the Hibiscus & Bays Local Board has expressed concerns about whether facilities on the Hibiscus Coast, such as libraries, arts and leisure centres, will be required to cater for those residents.
At a workshop on September 9, Auckland Council staff told board members it has been calculated that public facilities on the Coast have the capacity to include Milldale.
Several members expressed the view that with services such as Estuary Arts Centre and Centrestage Theatre currently under-funded, it would be unfair to expect those facilities to also cater for the residents of a subdivision in the neighbouring Rodney Local Board area.
When work began on Milldale, at the end of 2018, it was promoted as including shops, parks and other civic amenities, educational facilities and a town centre.
Milldale developer Fulton Hogan Land’s marketing consultant Warren Frogley says all of that is still being planned and discussed at a high level with Council.
“The central hub will have more than Millwater – proposed options include a library, theatre, shops, sports, and so on,” he says. “This takes a lot of time to put together and at present details are confidential but discussions are underway. We are only 750 lots into a 4000 plus home development.”
