Great Housing Opportunity – the Eastern Motorway Corridor
Have you ever wondered why the land right next to Glen Innes station has not been developed? Land that would make a perfect transit orientated development opportunity with the Eastern Line meaning an under 15min train ride with great views of the basin to the City, as well as next to the partially completed and future Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path.…

A Tale of Two Paths – big bikeways, local streets, and community connectivity
