Panmure's Stakeholders MAUNGAKIEKIE-TAMAKI LOCAL BOARD AMETI BUSWAY EKE PANUKU DEVELOPMENT TAMAKI REGENERATION LOCAL BOARD The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board covers the south-eastern part of the isthmus, including One Tree Hill, Onehunga, Oranga, Penrose, Mt Wellington, Panmure and Glen Innes. Visit: www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board members left to right: Nerissa Henry, Maria Meredith, Don Allen, Chris Makoare, Peter McGlashan, Debbie Burrows, Tony Woodcock. Nerissa Henry, Maria Meredith, Chris Makoare and Peter McGlashan are part of the Tamaki Ward. Don Allen, Debbie Burrows and Tony Woodcock are part of the Maungakiekie Ward. AMETI AMETI (Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative) Eastern Busway will create a dedicated, congestion-free busway between Panmure, Pakuranga, and Botany town centres. The busway is supported by new cycling and walking connections, urban design improvements, safety and signal improvements at key intersections, and more. The project is delivered in 4 stages. Once the busway is completed, you’ll be able to travel by bus and train between Botany and Britomart in less than 40 minutes. The busway will be supported by 3 new stations at Panmure, Pakuranga, and Botany, new cycling and walking connections, urban design enhancements, and improvements for general traffic such as advanced signalling at important intersections. Major transport improvements have already been made with the opening of the new Panmure Station (now the fifth busiest station in Auckland) and the development of Te Horeta Road. The next stage will be construction of a busway with buses travelling on their own congestion-free lanes between Panmure and Pakuranga town centres. The final stage between Panmure and Botany is due for completion in 2026. Visit: at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/eastern-busway/ PANUKU Eke Panuku Development Auckland helps to regenerate parts of Auckland - from small projects that refresh a site or building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods. The vision for Panmure is to create a vibrant town centre that is a great place to live, visit and do business; building on its distinct landscape, transport connectivity, local services and amenities and sense of community. Located within the Tamaki Transformation area, Panmure town centre is well-located with excellent public transport links to the wider Auckland area. Panmure was chosen as a location for regeneration due to large areas of underused, council-owned land in the town centre that represent significant redevelopment opportunities. The project area covers 43ha and encompasses land owned by council, Tamaki Regeneration Company (see below), the Crown and Auckland Transport (AT), who Panuku will work in partnership with to facilitate the staged transition of sites for development. Panuku will also work closely with TRC, who through its Regeneration Programme will build 7500 new homes across Tamaki in the next 15-20 years. Enlivening the main street is a key part of the future plan for Panmure. Panuku will work closely with the business community and look to introduce fresh retail and commercial space into Panmure to strengthen the appeal of the town centre and the diversity of what's on offer. A number of sites for mixed-use development will increase the number of homes and further expand the range of services the community can access. A multi-purpose community facility with a civic space is envisaged at the heart of the town centre where the community could come together and access key facilities such as a library and a community centre. The High Level Project Plan (HLPP) plan for Panmure town centre outlines the context for the project, the key decisions and main phases required to complete it over the next 15-20 years, during which time the population is expected to grow significantly. The plan was informed by public feedback gathered from a series of community sessions and an online survey. People who visit, live and work in Panmure were asked to share their thoughts on safety, community facilities and transport connections to and from the town centre, including walking and cycling. The sessions were supported by representatives from Panuku, members of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board and representatives from TRC.

TAMAKI The Tāmaki Regeneration Company (TRC) is working with, and for, the people of Tāmaki to shape the future of our community together. Formed in 2012, TRC is owned by the Government and Auckland Council. The Tāmaki Housing Association (THA) is part of TRC and has looked after the whānau that live in state housing in Tāmaki since 2016. Their goal is to enable the people of Tāmaki - especially Māori and Pasifika people - to reach their aspirations. Focus is on empowering and enhancing the wellbeing of tangata whenua and tangata tiriti. They honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa, and embed the principles into decision-making. They work to deliver better housing, infrastructure, transport, education and jobs. They collaborate closely with mana whenua, community groups, schools and businesses to deliver four key priorities: Social (supporting Tāmaki whānau to thrive) Housing (building homes and communities) Economic (helping the local economy to thrive) Placemaking (supporting local cultural identity and sense of belonging) Visit: tamakiregeneration.co.nz

History of Panmure History of Panmure Listen to the Auckland Libraries Heritage Podcast - Panmure Stories via Spotify The township of Panmure sits between two dramatic landforms; the Panmure Basin, also sometimes known as the Panmure Lagoon, a tidal inlet/estuary within a volcanic crater; and Maungarei/Mount Wellington which is a 135 metre volcanic peak. Maungarei is the youngest onshore volcano in the Auckland volcanic field; ie: excluding Rangitoto, having been formed by an eruption around 10,000 years ago. It is the largest of Auckland's scoria cones and named by colonists after the Duke of Wellington. The mountain’s Maori name, Maungarei, is translated as ‘the watchful mountain’ or as ‘the mountain of Reipae’, a Tainui ancestor. She travelled to Northland in the form of a bird. Maungarei is a site of archaeological importance as it was used in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries AD as a pa or hill fort. Evidence of terraces, storage pits and defensive trenches have been uncovered showing that Maori used this area over a considerable period of time. Other tribes also occupied the area from time to time. Panmure’s proud heritage goes back to pre-European times when the Panmure area (or Mokoia as it was known) was home to the Ngati Paoa people, and was the largest Maori community in New Zealand due to the fertile soils and abundant fishing in the Tamaki Estuary and Panmure Basin. Strategically placed for rapid access by canoe to the Waitematä Harbour, Hauraki Gulf and North Island east coast as well as 4km up the Tamaki Estuary was the portage that provided canoe access to the Manukau Harbour and the west coast. Settlement by the tribes in the area between the Tamaki River and Maungarei (Mokoia and Mauinaina Pa) became well established and was highly valued because of the easy access to good garden land, swamps and lakes, marine resources and many fresh water springs. The inhabitants of the two Pa were destroyed in 1821, by marauding warriors from the north. Led by the chieftain Hongi Hika, the invaders had the technological advantage of modern weapons acquired through earlier contact with Europeans and decimated the population. The Ngati Paoa never returned to the area, where a thousand of their number had been slain and the land slowly returned to be covered by fern and manuka. By 1838, a European settler, James Hamlin, established Waipuna Farm in the area and a community grew quickly over the following years. From 1848, many of the new settlers were Irish military pensioners who had been brought to New Zealand to establish a military base for defending Auckland. For many of the immigrant Pensioners, this was the best hope in providing for their families and after serving seven years in the Royal New Zealand Fencibles they would be given the cottage, land and household goods so they could settle down as a private citizen. Panmure, along with Howick, Otahuhu and Onehunga were the Fencible Settlements. In 1848, the “Clifton” arrived in Auckland from Galway, Ireland with seventy five men, their wives and children and settled on the site that was once Mokoia / Mauinaina Pa. Life was tough for these early settlers who needed to build their own village, grow vegetables, breed livestock and build wells but they were fortunate as the land was fertile and close to some already established farms where some could obtain extra work and supplies. The next 20 years saw the establishment of local services such as churches, schools and roads and in 1863 Panmure's first resident policeman, James Wren, was appointed. As Auckland grew eastwards, the first bridge across the Tamaki River was built in 1865 with train services coming to Panmure in 1873. Business really started to grow in the 1890's and expanded rapidly in the early 1900's with businesses associated with the new technologies of the day being established (Telephone linesman, electricians, plumbers). After World War One, with a demand to improve the roads, much of the old lava flow surrounding the mountain was quarried for industrial aggregates and the large quarry to the north of the mountain once produced 7% of New Zealand's roading aggregate. (now the suburb of Stonefields) Tamaki was still mainly farming and market gardens until the end of the Second World War and in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s saw the rapid expansion of the land around Maungarei/Mt Wellington for industry and state (government owned) housing. The land was plentiful, relatively flat, cheap and well served by road, rail and sea so was ideally suited for development. From 1949 – 1960 the population rose from a semi-rural 3,000 to a suburban 15,000. Expansion of housing and industry grew hand in hand and the district of Mt Wellington was sometimes referred to as ‘the home of modern industry’ with leaders in nationwide manufacture and distribution of products such as Alex Harvey Industries, Fisher & Paykel, Mason & Porter (Masport), Dulux and Berger paints, British Motor Corporation to name a few. Over a four year period eighty shops were built in the Panmure town centre and twenty offices established.The town continued to grow and was busy and prosperous town that rivalled Queens Street in Auckland’s CBD and supplied all the needs of the local residents. Photo supplied by Panmure's Historical Society Photo supplied by Panmure's Historical Society Through the 1980’s with the opening of cheaper land in East Tamaki and Manukau, industry slowly relocated and along with the increase of shopping malls and big block shopping centres the fortunes of the township of Panmure slowly declined. However t oday, Panmure is a unique and bustling community which prides itself on its cultural diversity and strength of community spirit. Download the Panmure Historical Walk Brochure here . Fresh Concept recently worked with Auckland Libraries and Eke Panuku on an outdoor display of some amazing panorama images of Panmure. A set of images were taken in 1920 by James Douglas Richardson, and another were taken 100 years later in 2020 by Samuel Hartnett. The images were taken from the tihi (summit) of Maungarei and Maungakiekie. These images are part of the Auckland Libraries Kura Collection which can be viewed at kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz - and found outside Panmure Library.
