Community & green space
Room to breathe. Room to belong.
Pukeatua Estate is built around the belief that the best neighbourhoods are shaped by connection to each other, and to the land.
Green space
Land that stays living
Nearly half this site stays green, and that is by design. The gullies, the wetlands, the replanted creeks, the green network works alongside engineered stormwater ponds and attenuation. Every wetland on the property is protected. Native planting will be returned to the gullies and creeks.
Walking tracks, bikeways, waterways worth looking at. A landscape that remains overwhelmingly green, for everyone to enjoy.
41% green space
41 per cent of the 196-hectare site is preserved as green space — native plantings, open parkland, gullies, and wetlands woven through the development.
Every wetland protected
Every wetland on the property is protected. Native planting will be returned to the gullies and creeks, supporting local biodiversity and natural water management.
Walking & cycling connections
Pedestrian and cycling paths connecting the estate internally and linking to the wider Waimauku township, the Brigham Creek bus station, and the SH16 bus lane.
Rail through the property
The North Auckland rail line already runs through the property, providing a multi-modal transport foundation options for the development and Waimauku.
Community
A destination, not a dormitory
Pukeatua Estate is designed as a new community hub for northwest Auckland, creating homes, walkable village spaces, green corridors, waterways, cycleways, and public open space within a landscape that remains overwhelmingly green.
Built gradually over 15 to 20 years, with around 200 homes delivered per year, the vision is to create a destination that complements the rural character of Waimauku. Infrastructure goes in alongside each stage, not retrofitted after the fact.
Two school sites are provided for in the proposal. The community said they needed a school, and we agree - offering the land as a genuine gesture, not to sell.
