Kawau Island Vision
Kawau Island is a 2,000 hectare island located in the Hauraki Gulf.  The Kawau Island Vision (PDF 174kb) identifies the uniqueness of the island and its community and outlines eight key values that should be taken into consideration for future planning processes.

Kaukapakapa Structure Plan
The Kaukapakapa Structure Plan (PDF 5mb) is aimed at the sustainable management of the natural and physical resources of the area, in accordance with community values and aspirations.  It aims to provide an integrated physical development framework plan to minimize ad hoc decision-making.

Puhoi Structure Plan
The Puhoi Structure Plan implements the Puhoi community vision for the future (Vision Puhoi 2008).  It identifies the natural, historical and community elements which make Puhoi a unique place and it recommends future actions designed to protect the historic character of the Village and the rural landscape setting of its surrounding hills and valleys.

Sandspit, Snells Beach and Algies Bay Structure Plan
The growth rate of the Sandspit-Snells Beach-Algies Bay area has exceeded that of both metropolitan regional and Rodney averages.  It is likely that growth pressures on the area will continue, especially with the demand for a small coastal town lifestyle within commuting distance from Auckland.  This Structure Plan will help guide future physical development of the Sandspit-Snells Beach-Algies Nay area in an appropriate and coordinated manner.
