CONNECTIONS / PEDESTRIAN LINKS
–
Concerned about the social effects which may result from the creation of
pedestrian links such as criminal behaviour and littering.
–
Seeks the abandonment of the proposed pedestrian links.
–
Agrees that a safe and attractive access way to Anderson Park should be
created.
–
Highlights the strong need for proper footpaths on Havelock Road from the
bridge to Hastings due to it being very dangerous for the many pedestrians
which frequent this area.
Walkway Through School – (discussion notes)
a) Discussed the walkway through school grounds between Campbell St and Te
Mata Road.
Issues regarding vandalism and security on school grounds.
School seeking Council input on better security (CCTV) at interface of Council
reserve (The Dell) and the school fields.
b) Discussed formalisation of a walkway in conjunction with Council. They have
talked to Colin Hosford. Paul Bremer supports keeping the school grounds
open, but want to improve the safety and reduce vandalism of school
property.

School pathway should be implemented down the “Duart” side
–
Access should be provided through the residential area on Havelock Road to
Anderson Park
-
Access, walkability important. In 2002 there were discussions about a path
between Te Mata Road via the Domain to Napier Road.
Anderson Park – Good idea to integrate the human activity are to village
Crossings – need more around, especially Te Mata/Duart, Karanema,
Havelock Rd/Happy Tav
Formalise passageways through school – create pedestrian corridors
There is a great need and demand for proper footpaths on the section of
Havelock road between the bridge and the Hastings boundary as it is very
dangerous for the many pedestrians which walk along there.
Access to Anderson Park needs to be more visible from Porter Drive
Informal walkway already formed through Havelock North school
Better signage to Anderson Park and the river is needed
Donnelly to Karanema pathway seems unnecessary
Strengthen pedestrian link from Donnelly Street to Cooper Street by play
centre into town.
Disagreement with linkage between Havelock Road and Anderson Park for
safety reasons such as vandalism and the provision of an escape route for
criminals.
No public access Campbell Street – village (school) and St Luke’s.
Residents vulnerable.
Open up Cooper Street for traffic flows right through to Karanema. Also
pedestrian access as planned (comment on pedestrian through link.
Poor access by footpath from village to Mary Doyle along north side of
Havelock Road, especially no crossing across Porter Drive north side.
No enclosed walkways – safety issue.

DEVELOPMENT SITE AT TOP JOLL ROAD
–
Develop Joll Road only as needed to avoid creation of vacant retail sites.
.Top Joll Road
a) Discussed implications for school of intensified commercial activity on this
location. Potential for traffic / pedestrian conflict and would want to see
residential activity adjacent to the School grounds – not commercial.
- They do not see evidence of pressure for village to grow, and from this view
point do not see it necessary to extend retail area up Joll Rd. Furthermore,
Joll Rd / Campbell St is a busy intersection, pedestrian (school) & traffic. Any
further development may have huge impact on this.
–
They find it strange that Napier Rd is not included in the retail core, given that
it is predominantly retail. With the abundance of on street parking space on
Napier Road, this should be the natural place of retail to grow. Its away from
the school, residential sites and has good traffic flow. Also help to integrate
the Domain.
–
Joll Road a logical extension of retail precinct
–
Mixed use appropriate for south end of Joll road to improve safety aspect
–
Agrees it is a good idea to use vacant land on Joll Road for more retail and
include residential by going up a storey.
–
Joll Road should be developed fully to avoid piecemeal development
–
Supports the development of Joll Road area for retail
–
Agrees with Joll Rd development area
–
Joll Road area an obvious area for expansion but again will result in
increased demand for parking
–
Agrees with Joll Rd development area.
–
Adjustment needed for school boundary for Joll Road site as framework maps
show a number of variations to dev area.
–
Suggests that the Joll Road development area should include all land
bounded by Joll Road, Campbell Street, the church and the school.
–
Agrees with Joll Rd development area.
–
Opposes retail development up Joll Road – avoid creating another township
like Hastings
–
Likes idea of commercial dvpmt to top of Joll Road. This hill street has a
unique character.
–
Don’t extend retail into Campbell St.
–
Against commercial & industrial use on Joll Road site – mixed use would be
appropriate

DEVELOPMENT SITE AT ‘HAPPY TAV’
–
–
Supports development of Tav site as mixed retail & green space but NOT car
parking.
Happy Tav a key building so should be developed tastefully
Happy Tav an eyesore which needs to be developed but exclude residential
Excessively high buildings on the Happy Tav site should be avoided to
maintain views and sunlight
Development of Tav should go ahead with no reduction in parking
Agrees with Tav development area
Concern about the development of the Tav site resulting in loss of parking
which is already in short supply – “inability to sell parking spaces does not
justify its removal”
Supports Tav development area.

Asserts that protection of St Columba’s Church should be a high priority.
Does not agree with the commercial development of the St. Columba’s
church site or intensive use of Havelock Road due to traffic safety concerns.
Landscaping of St Columbas site enhances the village
If church is protected, use of spare land on St Columbas site could be used
for boutique stores
Don’t develop St Columba’s church site as this provides the village with green
space
Church site issues: heritage classification, site coverage, relationship with
domain, Columba way boundary
One of oldest church sites in Havelock North, this should be recognised.
Worried that church site will be charged commercial rates if zoning changed
Concerned about unsympathetic commercial buildings being built on church
site if rezoned
St Columba’s site in need of a tidy up
Disagree with incorporating St Columbas site into retail precinct. This site &
domain should be for community use.
Maintain church site with surrounding green areas rather than including in
retail precinct
Agrees with Church development area
Supports Tav development area.

another one be built in the newer area to cater for the expanding population
there. It would also take traffic away from the centre of the Village.
New World difficult to develop without more car parking
Good idea to build above supermarket for residential and/or car parking
above
Don’t extend New World – is not in keeping with ‘village’ character
Joll Road and Middle Road chaotic - should be one way or no vehicle access
New World’s location adds further conflict between pedestrians and cars
Need to provide cheaper alternative supermarket as New World currently has
a monopoly
Currently traffic safety issues surrounding New World site – too many entry
points?
New World site currently used inefficiently and has traffic safety issues
Any extension of New World southwards should not be nearer to Porter Drive
than the existing building
A ‘big box’ supermarket would inappropriate on this site & should be
implemented in the mixed use precinct
Supermarket should be near Nimons bus terminal site for ease of shopping

Supports recommendation to retain a supermarket in the Retail precinct but

Support the recommendation that their be two key precincts in the village
centre and that “specified retail activities” be allowed to establish within the
current Industrial 1 area
Request that “specified retail activities” includes supermarkets with a
minimum gross floor area of 2000m2.
A smaller, boutique supermarket in the retail precinct would be fitting with the
village character and could complement a larger one in the Mixed Use
Precinct.
Foodstuffs supports the preparation of a site specific development brief in

CHARACTER / LANDSCAPING

Concerned about the incompatibility of outdoor seating with car parking.
It’s a wonderful place to shop b/c its small, walkable, easy parking – on
parking wardens and shops are unique of a high standard, good cafes and
atmosphere.
Local customers are loyal and have a great sense of pride in the Village.
If new buildings are to be built in the Village centre - have green spaces or
gardens around them.
We used to have beautiful colourful flowerbeds.....they all look rather boring
now.
Would like to see the continuing planting of trees. They are so special to this
area.

Comments on Post it notes from Open Day

Village should be left to mature with the addition of more trees, gardens &
seating
Retaining ‘village’ character important, can be encouraged with attractive
architecture & outdoor exhibitions.
Lavender cottage an unattractive entrance to the village
More landscaping and vegetation suggested.
Special character, amenity and relationship between Havelock and Hastings
needs to be defined
Supports the enhancement of entrance routes and the importance of quality
signage
Concern about loss of historical connection and ‘village’ character
Lack of cultural acknowledgement
Local products/produce promoted to increase ‘village market’ appeal
Plunket building adds to character
Parking capacity should be maintained but softened with vegetation
Built to street boundary ok on Joll Road but in other locations variable
boundaries could be enhanced with greenery & landscaping NOT car parking
as this is a hazard and deters pedestrians
Replace car park in Middle Road with green space
Car parking should be softened by vegetation
Disagrees with ‘to the kerb’ development rounding the corner of Campbell
street, instead vegetation should be used to soften this street frontage.
Green space is important
Attributes the selling of small areas of green space as a major reason for the
village’s losing its charm
Welcome to Havelock sign or entrance needed by bridge as lavender cottage
an eyesore
Maintain open space, trees and overall amenity rather than succumbing to
economic incentives
Cluster buildings around green spaces
Essential that main entrances to the village are kept open and spacious with
plantings and off road parking
Do not allow retail to undermine the two large trees on the church site – keep
open as a car park or green space
More small green spaces & trees
More pleasant outdoor seating – perhaps behind the info centre
Napier Road needs big street trees to bring back the Village feel.
Ensure lots of trees are planted, preferably deciduous green varieties.
New commercial buildings should have attractive architecture.
Encourage home office and ‘cottage industry’ type economy – encourage
local products/produce to increase ‘village market’ appeal.
Retain village feel and don’t allow factories and big box firms in Havelock.
Concern about increased activity in CBD and effect on fringe residential

area.
Havelock North loosing its charm
Maintain (and increase) sightlines to the hills.
Use local architects and builders who understand our village – not from
Auckland or Wellington
Concern about “city” buildings in village.
“Village” to many of us means 1 or 2 storied buildings with trees and open
space
Why do we need 3 storey buildings? Village atmosphere = 1 or 2 stories,
trees & open space.
Wants to retain existing character of Havelock North
Concern that there is no acknowledgement of cultural landscape.
All new buildings should be “interesting” designs rather than the usual
bland residential type design. Most buildings should be limited to 2 stories.
Agreement that plunket building adds to character so should be
maintained.

Does not agree with the commercial development of the St. Columba’s
church site or intensive use of Havelock Road due to traffic safety concerns.
Suggests that the section of Porter Drive between Havelock Road & Napier
Road be widened to allow improved parking and pedestrian access.
Concerned about the compatibility of outdoor seating with car parking.
Free parking should be restored
Parking capacity should be maintained but softened with vegetation
Roundabout at bridge needs extra lane in future
Replace car park in middle road with green space
Public transport needs to be better utilised
Traffic problems developing on Middle Road, Te Aute Road and Havelock
Road during peak periods
Parking problems will increase if village is encouraged to grow
Driving is difficult around Karanema Drive, Te Mata Road and Duart Place
Currently confused interactions between pedestrians and traffic
Angle parking unsafe
Joll Road and Middle Road chaotic - should be one way or no vehicle access
Keep cars out to encourage pedestrians
New World’s location adds further conflict between pedestrians and cars
Implement user pay car parking instead of using rate payers money
Identified development sites are all appropriate but will lead to increased
parking demand – is it time for a parking building?
Car parking should be softened by vegetation

Retain existing vehicle & pedestrian access through site between Joll Road &
Porter Drive (access to NW from Joll Rd)
Need to reduce traffic through village & promote pedestrian access
Limited vehicle access way on “important retail frontages” sounds like overkill.
Old fire station site should remain public parking
More zebra crossings needed for pedestrian safety
Lack of roundabout, crossings and footpath on Te Mata Road near swimming
poor is dangerous for both motorists and pedestrians
50km speed limit suggested for village and surrounding areas and more
marked pedestrian crossings needed
Use of basements/underground a good idea for garaging and roof gardens
could be implemented in residential areas
Possibly remove access road and parking in front of ANZ/Jackson Bakery
section from Joll Road to Porter Drive
Increase parking for Happy Tav side
More pleasant seating – perhaps behind the info centre
DISTRICT PLAN CHANGES
–
–
Supports the implementation of recommendations without compromise.
Suggests a size limit on new retail developments with the exception of
supermarkets.
The mixed use Precinct
Concerned that a comprehensive Mixed Use land use on Nimons Site could
adversely affect the retention of semi light industrial activities on the opposite
side of Martin Place, by increasing rental costs and values, as would the
introduction of residential activity at first floor level.
If the "comprehensive development" at the Nimons site was other than
supermarket or similar then what might be created would be a collection of
mixed use activities maybe with residential accommodation above but it
would be akin to the creation of a further semi retail core.
Both the Trusts see the need for some certainty as to the actual use of the
Nimons site before rules restricting the use of the opposite side of Martin
place are created. If this is not achieved then the ability of the owners to
respond appropriately to the "comprehensive development" is unfairly
restricted without good reason. Option 2 as noted at page 45 of the proposal
simply compounds that issue if adopted, because no doubt many relevant
activities would be restricted given what is apparently to be allowed.
Expansion of retail core. St Columbas Church – Concerned that if it were
redeveloped with retail frontage it would increase the need for car parking, and at
the same time, probably reduce the available church parking space on the site.
If the church hall is removed from this site then it would need to be located
elsewhere. Also may affect the future of the protected tree.
Joll Road is an option but its utility for retail development depends heavily upon
what occurs opposite with the supermarket so that frontage issues are improved.
Urban Connections Does not see the point of the pedestrian connection through
Donnelly Street/Cooper St/Karenema Drive.
The Trusts are not aware of any studies that identify significant foot traffic
approaching the village from that direction other than residents of the Rest Home,
and is not aware of any public need for better or other access to the walking
tracks adjacent to the Karenema Stream from the village given that recreational
walkers are generally fit and well able to manage the adjacent public streets.
Further given the use of a portion of Cooper Street which during daylight has
constant light industrial traffic and access points, the traffic free/safe
access concept is of somewhat less value.
Concern that this walkway would be dangerous in the evening and at night for
vulnerable users, because it can easily harbour undesirable elements unobserved
from vacant premises after hours.
Proposed changes to Havelock Road and the new West Side mixed use precinct
and roundabout will create a different environment. Changes will lessen some of
the presumed hazards in using the established footpath on Havelock Road past
service station and Tumu outlets.
Further visibility gives safety and development as proposed for the west side
encourages its utilisation. In the Trusts view this connection has no value and
needs reconsideration.

Mixed use in industrial zone a better option
Special character, amenity and relationship between Havelock and Hastings

10 metre high buildings on west side of Havelock Road a bad idea.

Adjustment needed for school boundary for Joll Road site as framework
shows a number of variations
–
–
12m high ok but should only be for 3 levels above ground
Agree with recommendations
–
–
-
Change not needed – leave Havelock as it is
Opposes building apartments above shops
Support the recommendation that their be two key precincts in the village
centre and that “specified retail activities” be allowed to establish within the
current Industrial 1 area
Request that “specified retail activities” includes supermarkets with a
minimum gross floor area of 2000m2.
A smaller, boutique supermarket in the retail precinct would be fitting with the
village character and could complement a larger one in the Mixed Use
Precinct.
Foodstuffs supports the preparation of a site specific development brief in
consultation with the council.
Essential that main entrances to the village are kept open and spacious with
plantings and off road parking
Agree with proposed mixed use precinct
Opportunity to make Martin Place more ‘industrial’ compared to Cooper
St/Donnelly St
Strongly supports mixing of residential and office use in 3-4 storey buildings
Higher buildings should only be permitted on the south side or were
sunlight/views are not impaired
Compact residential buildings important if urban sprawl into valuable land is
to be avoided

entrance to the village, giving the gateway to the Village. Do not want to see
tall building ‘corridors’.
1. Retail Precinct: The inclusion of the total St Columbus Church property could
ultimately force or insight the Church to sell out to a developer, thus losing the
Church from the Village.
2. The change from Industrial to Mixed-Use precinct: Am still unsure of the
impact. Napier Road and both sides of Donnelly Street should be a Commercial
Service Zone?
3. We definitely require the total residential zoned land on Havelock Road to be
Mixed-Use zone. As we own a controlling interest in this area we believe the
Mixed-Use zoning will still allow for any residential development.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
–
–
Should require that sympathetic colour schemes be used
Definitely do not wish to see buildings built to street anywhere except in
intensive current retail area.
–
Very happy with the introduction of statutory design guidelines and not to
increase the overall commercial / retail zoning area.
–
Concerned about more large scale buildings being erected such as that
opposite the Rose and Shamrock
Keep buildings set back from road to maintain views and feeling of open
space
Oppose buildings being built to the street as it creates ‘canyons’, however
parking should not be permitted in front of buildings which are set back
Encourage small shops and avoid large ‘slabs’
Approve of guidelines but how will they be implemented?
Disagrees with ‘to the kerb’ development rounding the corner of Campbell
street, instead vegetation should be used to soften this street frontage.
Do not allow large buildings as this ruins feeling of open space and restricts
sunlight and views.

“Diversity is not a bad thing” – council should not control every aspect of
building design
Design guidelines are unwarranted and should be resisted
Built to street boundary ok on Joll Road but in other locations variable
boundaries could be enhanced with greenery & landscaping NOT car parking
as this is a hazard and deters pedestrians

Comments from post it notes at Open Day
–
Design guidelines only worthwhile if they are enforceable
Avoid dominating corporate signage and colours e.g. Speight’s advertising
next to Happy Tav
–
Urgent need to implement design guidelines as consent requirements to
prevent loopholes
–
Buildings on Havelock Road should not be built up to the footpath
–
Design guidelines are “badly needed!”
–
Concerned about extra cost to developers with the possible imposition of
arbitrary rules imposed through the design guidelines
–
Supports all proposed guidelines, would also like to see guidelines on
colours.
Building to Street
–
Rather than having buildings built right up to the street edge on the Happy
Tav site, maybe have buildings set back from the edge for aesthetic look
and traffic.
–
Shops on Westside of Havelock Road should be set back with parking and
landscaping in front. This makes entrance to the village open & inviting.
–
Large buildings will undesirably block views and create shade and wind
turbulence
Design Guidelines
–
Approve! What are the incentives to comply with them? Ensure all
stakeholders are involved throughout process to avoid one ‘group’
dominating decisions

Suggested provisions for incorporating drive through retail into the
framework’s urban design criteria.

Retaining ‘village’ character important, can be encouraged with attractive
architecture & outdoor exhibitions.
–
Supports the enhancement of entrance routes and the importance of quality
signage

CCTV surveillance not effective as people just drink on the boundaries
–
Plunket and associated playground should be moved to decentralise youth
activities
–
Encourage cycling by providing safer cycling routes
–
Strongly approve of maintaining the compactness of the village & promoting
walkability

Incorporate high quality, environmentally sustainable building techniques
such as solar heating, grey water recycling & roof gardens.
Possibly remove access road and parking in front of ANZ/Jackson Bakery
section from Joll Road to Porter Drive
Increase parking for Happy Tav side
More pleasant seating – perhaps behind the info centre

Amenity/Public Space
–
“Dynamite the lights! Make the grim reaper leave town”
–
Please please change the lights – they look like ugly gallows and don’t suit
the village at all
–
Replace light poles with smaller arms - replace lime sand with green lawn –
replace seats that were donated – remove fountain and pods – more trees
required
–
In the rain today I had to walk outside the verandah eves as all Diva
furniture on the inside
–
No more art works etc
–
New law – when building up you can’t take away your neighbours sun into
their homes
–
Agree with enhancement of entrance routes and management of sign
quality
–
Intensive activity in CBD might result in loss of green areas
–
Want a restful green village centre – leave public spaces to mature
–
Lavender cottage needs tidying up or changing as it is an unattractive
entrance to the village
Social Issues
Why do pedestrians coming from post shop to village centre have to walk
past Diva’s patrons or cross the road to walk past Turks’ patrons during
normal shopping hours?
•
Concern that smaller residencies become tenanted – therefore don’t take
ownership – pride – lack of care.
•
Plunket – move not so central so it can expand it to wider youth facility –
playground and equipment
•
Urban Design Recommendations
•
Generally agree
•
Support
•
Excellent assessment, strongly support
•
Support
•
Support maintaining of compact form and the rest
•
Strongly agree with maintaining parking and promoting walk-ability but
disagree with all buildings having street frontage; however parking should
not be in front.
•
Agree with UD recommendations except street edge definition – not ok in
all places – need landscaping not car parking
Key point from Public Meetings
•
General support for the framework
•
Residential living in CBD – concern about reserve sensitivity; think there is
no demand for it; seek ways to reduce crime in Centre
•
Introduce a Design Panel to assess new developments
•
Introduce a ‘community focus group’ to work with Council in developing
ideas from framework. Interactive.
•
More trees / greenery in CBD
•
Want local commercial services to remain in HN.
•
Better provision for cyclists – cycleways and stands.
•
Want to slow down traffic in CBD, more pedestrian friendly streets
