Dear David
Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan - Rezoning of the Manukau Supa Centa and adjacent sites from
General Business to Metropolitan Centre
Murdoch Newel l Management Limited (Murdoch Newell) is the owner of the site at 51 Lambie Drive.
2
The site is nearly 10,000m in area and was developed in the 1980's with a single level office building of
2
1630m . The office bu ilding is currently leased to the New Zealand Red Cross, Auckland Chamber of
Commerce and IHC.
Murdoch Newell supports the rezoning of the Manukau Supa Centa and adjacent sites (including 51
Lambie Drive) from General Business to Metropolitan Centre.
2

understand that the General Business zone provides for office development greater than 500m GFA
per site as a Discretionary activity. The existing development at 51 Lambie Drive already far exceeds this
limit, and any minor redevelopment of the existing building to add additional office space will require
resource consent.
1

The existing development also under utilises the site area, and there is significant opportunity for
redevelopment to occur. The General Business zone, which I understand is a large format retail zone,
does not reflect the existing activity on the site and does not provide for the wide range of activities that
are appropriate and desirable in this location.
I consider that the Metropolitan Centre zone reflects the existing connection between this site and the
Manukau City Centre, and will enable the establishment of activities that are appropriate having regard
to the existing private and public investment, and strategic location of the site.
I request that this letter be tabled at the Unitary Plan hearing for Topic 081 for the consideration of the
Independent Hearings Panel.

Dear Dav id ,
Proposed Auck land Unitary Plan- Rezoning of the Manukau Supa Centa and adjacent sites from General
Business to Metropolitan Centre
I.

Harvey Norman Properti es (NZ) Lim ited (Harvey Norman) is the own er of the Harvey Norman site within the
Manukau Supa Centa at 51 Lambi e Drive.

2.

Harvey Norman supports th e rezoning of the Manukau Supa Centa and adjacent sites from General Business to
Metropo li tan Centre.

3.

I understand that Bunnings Limited (Bunnings), the tenant on the site owned by Lambi e Dri ve Nominees Ltd
( 1/55 Lambi e Drive) seeks that 1/55 Lambie Drive remain as General Business but does not obj ect to the balance

of the site bein g rezon ed to Metropolitan Centre.

4.

The reasons given by Bunnings to oppose the Metropolitan Centre zone on their site include:
a)

the potenti al costs of th e hi gher amenity obj ectives of the Metropolitan Centre zone on thee tabl ished large
form at retail activities and trade supplier acti vities; and

b)

potential incompatibility of sensiti ve activities with the estab lished large format retail and trade supp li er
acti viti es.

5.

I do not agree with these con cerns. Harvey Norm an has stores within centres (including proposed Metropolitan
Centre zones) and in large form at retail deve lopments (zoned General Business in the Unitary Plan). I do not
consider that there are hi gher amenity costs of a centre location compared to a large form at retail centre. Harvey
No rm an deve lops and maintains all its sites, whether in centre or in a large form at retail development, to have
hi gh customer ameni ty.

6.

Harvey Norman' s operational requirements, and in particular deli veri es of furni ture and other goods, are the
same whether the store is located in a centre or a large format retail centre. Some of our stores, within Auckl and
or in other parts of the country, are located adjacent to or in proximity to res idential areas. As an exampl e, the
Mount Roskill store has a res identi al zone along its rear boundary adj acent to the loading dock. This res idential
zone interface does not undul y impact on the operation of the store.

7.

I support the Metropolitan Centre zoning and th e greater range and intensification of acti vities th at it would
enabl e to occur within the Manu ka u Supa Ce nta and the balance of the site. The Manukau Supa Ce nta is a
signifi ca nt pat1 of the retail offer at Manukau City . It is a very successful centre with hi gh foot traffic. I

consider it appropri ate to enable other ac tivities to co-l oca te and support the ex isting centre development.
