A permanent use for the Atlas site, next to the Warkworth Showgrounds, is still in limbo.
The site is currently occupied by North Power while they construct a new premises. Their lease, which was set to end on March 31, has been extended.
Rodney Local Board chair Beth Houlbrooke says no consultation process has been planned to identify how the site will be used in future, but thinks the Local Board Plan process will be the best time to make submissions for those interested in utilising the site.
The plan process opens for submissions on May 22 and closes on June 30.
Ms Houlbrooke says if enough submissions are made on ideas for the site, a case can be presented by the Local Board to the Finance and Performance Committee, which will next allocate funds for key projects in July 2019. She says although the site was an option for a swimming pool, it was no longer being considered for that use.
In the meantime, the Auckland Council lease team will notify the Board of any short-term opportunities to lease the site once North Power has vacated it.
