Welcome.

West gate

Westgate is going to be big – 10,000 jobs and 1,760 homes. This metropolitan centre is being developed from scratch on land that was formerly strawberry gardens.

We will see a high quality town centre at West gate fulfilling its potential as the civic hub of West Auckland as our population grows. We will ensure the voice of the community is heard and your needs are met as these developments progress, not 10 years after.

Since the 1970s west Auckland has developed as a “dormitory” suburb [Read more…] about Extract From Auckland Council Board Plan
