PART 5 SETTLEMENTS AND COASTAL AREAS

50 1 I NTRODUCTION: The future of mony of the smoll rurol s ettlements in the County gives couse for concern. Mony of these settlements coter for the dispersed population os well ds the immediate residents. They provide for retoil, educotionol, community ond other services, ond so contribute too lorge extent to the socio! climate of the rurol oreo.

In looking ot the progress of these settlements through time, o well established pattern can be identified. The closure of industries such os dairy factories ond depots (often by centralisation of facilities in lorger centres) garages ond shops, weakens the economic bose of the community. As loco! employment declines, people move awo½ thereby re-ducing community social life as the threshold level of population de-clines. This is of concern to local residents.

The above is the s ituation for some settlements in the County. The coastal and holiday oreos do not suffer to the some extent as the in-ternal settlements. This is because of the type of person attracted to the area for retirement and holiday purposes, rather than permanent employment.

Generally the operative district scheme hos directed development to t~1e internal Boroughs and provided for little or nil expansion or ~e~-ment in the existing settlements. Although this moy have contribute to the decline in the settlements, it is not the sole cause. Because of the importance of existing settlements, eoch will be considered individually and oppropriote policies ond zonings determined for them.

502 DE SCRIPTION OF EXI STING SETTLEMENTS: An examination of the district planning maps shows the spatial location of settlements within the County and their spread throughout the ten ridings is pronounced. Each settlement provides a range of services relevant to the surrounding area. Some are just a group of residential sites, whilst others have a sC'hool, shop, service station, hall or other services. Generally these will be recognised in the policies and zon-ings for each area.

503 RURAL SERVICE ZONE S: Under the first reviewed district scheme, several settlements had areas in the Rural S (Service) zone. :Y'ttis zone permitted a wide range of commercial, industrial and resident·ial uses to be established as predo-minant or conditional uses. Although the zone appli es to the settle-ments, it is considered a rural zone and is dealt with further under Part 6 and Ordinance 65 of this scheme.

504 OBJECTIVES: 504.1 Introduction:

Following a consideration of all the urban areas in the County, the fol -lowing objectives have been determined. The next section indicates the policies for each of the i-ndividual urban areas shown on separate planning maps.

506 DRURY TOWNSHIP: 506.1 Introduction:

506.2

506.3

Drury township is the largest urban area within the County. It is located in the apex of the triangle formed by the Motorway, N.I.M.T. Railway and generally Sutton Road. Its role is seen as a servicing one of the surrounding rural area rather than a major urban area. Development in the past decade has been slow, particularly up until 1973 when the sewage scheme was commissioned. Since then development has increased.

Generally the residential area is to the east of the Hingoia Stream with the land between the Motorway and the stream, and to the south of Norrie Rood being in the industrial area. Little residential development has token place since 1973, with most development being in the industrial area :

Servicing: Water supply, sewage disposal, and refuse collection are provided by the Council. Power and telephone se rvices are also available.

With the slow rate of development of the township, the standards of road construction are less than would normally be required in urban areas. Council is however upgrading the roads and providing kerb, channel and stormwater drainage, as funds permit.

Residential Development: Land alongside the Great South Road has been subdivided for many years and at present is only partly developed. Section sizes are larger than normal residential sections and therefore provide scope for subdivision into smaller lots than where unsewered sections ore concerned.

Because of the nature of the township, and the fact that a sewerage scheme exists, a separate residential zone has been provided for the Drury area. Because of the larger size of existing sections, greater residential densiti es will be permitted in the area.

Adjoining the western side of the Great South Road in the Rogers Road area to the north of the Township, and adjoining Flanagan Road are a number of residential sections with dwellings erected thereon. Although beyond the township area, these are included in the Residential 1 zone.

Industrial Deve lopment: Drury is the major industrial area in the County. imity to the Drury motorway interchange, this area for development. Of significance also is the N.Z. proposed freight terminal adjoining Waihoehoe Road of the railway line.

Area between Drury and Papakura:

With its close prox-hos great potential Railways Corporation ' s on the eastern side

This area is called the "Drury Triangle". It is bounded by the motorway to the west, N.I.M.T. Railway to the east, Papokura City to the north and Drury Township to the south. A study of the possible urban develop-ment of this area was undertaken during 1975 and the "Drury Triangle Structure Plan" published in Ja~uary 1976. This Structure Plan contained objectives and policies for the overall development of the area, to-gether with more specific development objectives and policies. The development of the Drury Triangle for urban purposes was seen as "in-fill" linking the existing Drury Township with the southern ports of Papakura City. No development beyond the Drury Triangle was envisaged because of the physical boundaries of the Motorway and the N.I.M.T. Railway.

In accordance with the policies contained in the proposed Auckland Regional Planning Scheme, no land in this area will be zoned for urban purposes, except for the Residential 1 zone covering the existing residential sections in this area.

Objectives and Policies: TO GENERALLY CONTAIN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DRURY TOWNSHIP TO THAT PRESENTLY ZONED FOR URBAN PURPOSES.

TO INCLUDE IN THE RESIDENTIAL 1 ZONE THE SEClIONS SUBDIVIDED FOR RESI -DENTIAL PURPOSES IN THE AREA BETWEEN DRURY AND PAPAKURA CITY , AND ADJOINING FLANAGAN ROAD.

TO DISCOURAGE ANY URBAN DEVELOPMENT BEYOND THE DRURY TOWNSHIP AND THE AREAS ZONED RESIDENTIAL l UNDER OBJECTIVE 0.5.8.

TO RETAIN THE HIGHER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONE IN THE DRURY TOWNSHIP. (RESIDENTIAL 2 ZONE).

TO PROVIDE FOR ONLY ONE INDUSTRIAL ZONE IN THE DRURY TSWNSHIP.(INDUSTRIAL 1 ZONE)

TO MONITOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE DRURY TOWNSHIP AND REVIEW THE RESIDENTIAL ZONING IN THE AREA BETWEEN EAST STREET, SUTTON ROAD AND THE N.I.M.T. RAILWAY IF REQUIRED.

THAT THE CHURCHES AND LODGE HALL BE IDENTIFIED IN THE DISTRICT SCHEME.


507 COASTAL ENVIRONMENT: 507. 1 Introduction:

507.2

507.3

507.4

507.5 0 .5 . l 6

Franklin County has a very long coastal boundary with widely different characteristics. It con be divided into three distinct areas.

Waikato Heads to Signal Station at Manukau Heads (West Coast) -38km Signal Station at Manukou Heads to the Motorway Bridge at Pahure-hure Inlet (Monukau Harbour) - 142km Matingarohi to Miranda on the Firth of Thames (East Coast) - 23km

Waikato Heads to Manukau Heads: The West Coast is a remote undeveloped coastline of exposed ocean beach backed by steep dune country or cliffs. The Awhitu lakes, an important natural resource are located adjacent to this coastline. Ironsand can be found all along the shore and also for a distance inland. The land is mainly in private ownership and in use for farmin!'.,I. At Waikato North Head is the Waiuku State Forest of some 1027.4 ha planted in production species and 54.9 ha for protection purposes. A portion of this area is mined for ironsands for the Steel Mill at Mission Bush (GlenbrookL Public access to the coast is limited to Karioitahi Beach Hamiltons Gap and through the State Forest. For this reason, recreational activit ies on the coast l ine ar e limited. There are no settlements adjacent to this coast.

Manukau Harbour: The South Manukau Harbour Coast i s a tidal coas tline with extensive harbour flats and inlets. Most of the land adjoining the coast is privately owned and in farming use. Important bird habitats of international significance are situated along the shores of the harbour . Public access to and recreational use of the coastline is limited , the Manukau Harbour itself providing the major resource in this area.

Existing settlements ore to be found at Wattle Bay, Orua Bay, Big Bay, Hudsons Beach, Grahams Beach, Kauritutahi, Motakawau Beach and Te Toro Beach on the Awhitu Peninsula. On the Southern Manukau are the settlements of Glenbrook Beach, Clarks Beach, Waiau Beach , Hingaia Bridge and Bottletop Boy.

Firth of Thame s :

The area from Matingarahi Point to Miranda on the Firth of Thames i s mainly gentle rural land with a coastline of boulder beaches and reefs north of Kaiaua, and tidal flats and shell banks between Kaiaua and Miranda. Bu she lad Hunua Ranges back t herol ling country. A valuable birdlife habitat exists on the shel l banks at the souther n end of the area. A chenier plain of international significance which provides a valuable record of past sea-leve l changes e~ists between Miranda and Kaiaua. Main recreational activities are boating and shellfishing. The coastline i s c omparatively unattractive for swimming.

Settlement is confined to Kaiaua, Whakatiwai and Waharau and no further settlement along the coastline i s anticipated.

Objectives and Policies : TO PERMIT DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE WEST COAST OF THE COUNTY, ONLY AT KARIOITAHI AND THEN ONLY IF ITS IMPACT ON THE NATURAL COASTAL ENVIRON-MENT IS NEGLIGIBLE OR BALANCED AGAINST THE WIDER PUBLIC INTEREST.
