Rodney representative on Auckland Council and former Mayor of Rodney, Penny Webster, gives her views on the future:
Growth predicted in the Proposed Unitary Plan will mean Warkworth will expand to both the north and the south.
Tourism is likely to be a thriving industry due to the walkway/cycleway planned for Puhoi to Mangawhai and the old highway becoming a tourist route.
By then there should be regular bus services down the motorway linking Orewa, Silverdale, Albany and Britomart. Cycleways will also link most of the eastern beaches.
Warkworth town centre will be a vibrant hub with some apartments and town houses near the centre of the town, though still predominately character, single house dwellings.
The riverbank should stay clear of buildings and be a rest and recreation area. More boats will use the river as by then we will have stopped the silting.
