This is a significant step forward in the rejuvenation of Naenae and it will complement the construction of the new Naenae Pool which is planned to start in the second half of 2021.

The Spatial Plan shows how Naenae could be configured in a way that speaks to the community’s aspirations while also applying best practice in urban form and design. A renewed town centre will bring new heart into the Naenae community.

Council has agreed to explore:

• The provision of housing within the Naenae town centre
• An extension from Rātā Street to Vogel Street – service lane for possible supermarket
• Shared space extension of Hillary Court
• Retail on Everest Avenue with an upgraded streetscape and parking layout
• Development of community spaces to activate the heart of Hillary Court
• Expanded square/plaza between library and the former Naenae Post Office Building
• Supermarket on part of the site of the former pool – Walter Mildenhall Park
• Future overbridge to railway station and Oxford Terrace.
