Restore our Foreshore - Onehunga Foreshore Restoration
To submit a private plan change and designs enabling the reclamation of Onehunga bay between Taumanu Reserve and the Port of Onehunga.
Auckland
Since 2007 The Onehunga Enhancement Society has been advocating for promises made in the 1970's to be honoured, to restore our foreshore and safe harbour lost when State Highway 20 was built.
In 2015 the first outcome of this campaign was delivered in the form of Taumanu Reserve. This area was the largest reclamation of its type in New Zealand and has won six awards. It is now enjoyed by thousands of people and has been a huge success. Yet it is not complete.
The original designs were for the restorative reclamation to stretch from Seacliffe Road to the Port of Onehunga, and to deliver a safe harbour anchorage for boats.
In order to complete this final work a plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan is required. Although we will continue to lobby Auckland Council for this, our best course of action is to submit a private plan change. It costs $30,000 to lodge plus processing fees, and for this we need your support.
If you are passionate about Onehunga or are an existing user of Taumanu Reserve, then we urge you to donate to this cause.
With your help we can make a change. Please donate to this cause.

Let the Local Board know we want action 5 March 2020
Hi folks, it would be really great if you all go on to the Tamaki Maungakiekie ideas page and click on the hearts beside the ideas that you like. Currently no one seems to be liking the ideas, and if we really want the local board to take notice we need the hearts to get counters beside them.
It is not difficult, simply go to this page https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/, register, select our local board, and then select to view all ideas (there are currently 18 of them), and click the hearts beside the ideas you like. Also you can add comments to these, and add your own ideas if not already on the board.
Our fund raiser is currently at a bit of a standstill, so if you can promote this givealittle page on your own Facebook pages that would be great. And please tick the hearts on the ideas that support the foreshore restoration.
