In a previous post regarding the proposed Housing NZ development in Haverstock Road, Sandringham, we commented that it has been proposed to replace the 19 existing units with 41 units.
Among other issues, there is a proposal to move part of Meola Creek that runs behind the existing units and this has received approval from the ARC as it is no longer classified as a ‘creek’ because it is piped.
STEPS made a submission on this development and the moving of the creek, which can be downloaded here…submission_steps-08-haverstock-v1
The hearings regarding this development and all submissions are being held from September 10-12, 2008, and STEPS will be making a presentation. We will keep you updated.

Hi,
STEPS has received requests from Wai Care and Metrowater to become involved in three weekend planting days alongside the new boardwalk (which some of you may have already seen). We’re hoping to put approximately 1500 plants in the ground each weekend.
