Who should decide how Warkworth grows over the next 30 years – Auckland Council planners or the people who live here?
We think it should be ‘the locals’ – the people who have already made an investment in the town through their decision to live and work here, send their children to school here and retire here.
With this in mind, we have started to canvas the views of some well-known residents and business people on some of the strategies in the Proposed Unitary Plan. While we suggested that comments be limited to around 200 words, it was encouraging to find that most correspondents went well over that limit in their enthusiasm to talk on the topic.
We start with the views of Craig Powell, Nicola Jones, Penny Webster and Joy Bell.
Coming up in the next issue, out on October 14, we will hear from Burnette Macnicol, Hamish Alexander, Mark Forrest and Warkworth School students.

We would love to hear your views on Warkworth’s future, the sort of growth that should be encouraged, what’s important to get right, what don’t we want to lose as we grow and how can this be achieved?
Be as conservative or as visionary as you like with what you would like Warkworth to look like in 30 years time.
