Funding for a new, single-story community centre has been approved for Pukete Neighbourhood House. We’ve consulted with the community on our initial proposal to build the community centre in Ashurst Park, by Ashurst Avenue.
We heard a range of feedback from 282 written submissions, and we are now exploring options for the building location.
You can see the options below, and the pros and cons of each. Please note that any feedback received at the information session on 13 November is not recorded below. This feedback will be incorporated into the final report, which will go to the Council meeting on 14 December.
