some ponds and even a little wetland. Trees have been
planted and the birds come. Rosa had a tui in her garden

centre was built six years ago, but it has been so popular the
council is thinking it might have to expand it already.

and objectives of this HIA are to inform the guidelines and
controls, which determine the built form and spatial system
of Wiri and support the vision for the Wiri area to be a vibrant
extension of the Manukau City Centre.
The central findings of this HIA include the following:
1. � Strong support for the urban plan to encompass provision
for open space which may include the development of
a reserve or parks, village greens and a raised walkway
along the Puhinui stream joining Rata Vine and Wiri as one
community
2. � Nurturing the cultural diversity of the community through
multi-lingual signage and cultural art and landscaping
3. � Support for a leisure/ recreation centre to be built in Wiri,
providing entertainment, help and support for all Wiri
residents, particularly youth
4. � Warm, healthy housing appropriately sized to
accommodate the diverse size and makeup of the families
and whanau in Wiri
5. � Additional housing and ownership options to encourage some
growth and housing intensification but remain within the
reach of current community members, and not displace them.
6. � Avoiding over-populating the area through intense
development of apartments which in turn was felt may
decrease the sense of community and cause social disruption
7. � Creating a safer place for all to live, work and play through
improved lighting, well maintained safe paths and walkways
8. � Building orientation and streetscape that improves health
and safety
9. � Increased access to amenities and services, specifically a
post office, post boxes, public telephones, general practice
services, pharmacy, dairies and early childhood centres.
