Development Update
Reporepo Park design completed
Our vision for a connected and green Aorere neighbourhood is coming to life as we progress developing local parks and the streets that connect them. Following positive community feedback, and with the support of Te Ākitai Waiohua, the design of Reporepo Park is now complete and the planning phase to see it come alive begins.
Reporepo Park, on the corner of Paneke Street and Winthrop Way, will be a community ‘pocket’ park. It will be a transitional space for the local community, within new three-story apartment buildings to be developed. The park will include a number of play areas, seating areas, more open green spaces, tree planting and grass mounds.
The design for the park is inspired by Aorere’s story. Aorere lies north of: Pūkaki Crater (Te Pūkakitapu o Poutūkeka); Crater Hill (Ngā Kapua Kohuora) and Kohuora Park (Kohuora). Together, these three cultural significant sites are known as Nga Tapuwae a Mataoho, the sacred footprints of Mataoho, in reference to the Māori god responsible for the volcanic activity that shaped the area.
These three mounds are a central feature of the park design, supporting by a number of culturally inspired features like locally sourced stepping stones, and reclaimed log play elements. A walking path and a bike/scooter trail run through the centre of the park.

Whether it’s walking, cycling or driving, getting around in Aorere is about to become a whole lot safer.
Fancy a walk along Winthrop Way? How about cycling through Courtenay Crescent or driving down Mayflower Close? Whatever way we choose to travel, getting around in Aorere is about to improve as we work to make our streets safer.
Mangere Development and our civil construction partners at LEAD Alliance will be building kerb extensions and side islands, speed bumps and raised tables, and adding sections where motorists won’t be able to stop or park their vehicles. These improvements will make walking, cycling and driving through the neighbourhood safer and more enjoyable, and
include improved connections to our schools, parks and recreation areas.
The improvements will also help pave the way for more than 470 new homes to be built over the next five years in Aorere, as part of Mangere Development.
People who live on Henwood Road, Winthrop Way, Courtenay Crescent, Raglan Street and Haddon Street will be impacted by the works, and are encouraged to contact us, either online, by phone or in person to find more information.
If you want to know more, please pop into the Mangere Development Information Centre at 12 Waddon Place – Wednesday to Saturday, 10am-4pm. Or, get in touch with LEAD Alliance on 0508 747 48 244 or by email: aorere@leadalliance.nz.
Building Wellbeing in Your Community is a research study currently underway in the Aorere community.
This study is part of Te Hotonga Hapori – Connecting Communities, a five-year programme of research exploring the relationship between a community or neighbourhood and the wellbeing of the people who live there.
What we learn through Te Hotonga Hapori may lead to improved housing redevelopment and urban design, and better wellbeing outcomes for people and communities. Te Hotonga Hapori is led by a research team from Auckland University of Technology (AUT).
Involving residents living in Aorere as well as three other Auckland communities, Building Wellbeing in Your Community endeavours to help us better understand how people’s wellbeing is affected by their movement around and interaction with their local environment. The study will compare findings from residents in neighbourhoods undergoing housing redevelopment to that of neighbourhoods with little or no redevelopment.

Another Te Hotonga Hapori study, Community Wellbeing and Lived Experiences, is about to get underway and again will involve Aorere residents.
This qualitative study will partner with both residents and community stakeholders to learn more about their stories, histories and experiences within Aorere. Citizen science will be used to help the community to advocate for positive change in the places they live. This is the first step towards understanding what places and spaces have most meaning in peoples’ lives.
You can find out more about these studies and other Te Hotonga Hapori studies by – visiting the website tehotongahapori.ac.nz or calling freephone 0800 553 365 to talk to the research team.
