The visionary masterplan for Beachlands South in East Auckland aims to provide up to 4,000 new homes with an unparalleled connection with the natural landscape and unspoilt coastline. Extending the existing Beachlands / Maraetai seaside communities in an area spanning 300 hectares, the masterplan includes provision for new dwellings to accommodate approximately 10,000 residents, a new village centre, including retail and food and beverage outlets, schools, hotel and conference facilities, sporting and recreational facilities, a nine-hole golf course and public transport links. Utilising a retained and regenerated network of gullies and coastal walkways, the development also includes provision for over 80 hectares of walking and cycling networks.

Access to high-quality multi-modal transport, including proximity to the existing rapid transit service (the Pine Harbour ferry connection to central Auckland), will support the increased development while minimising pressure on roading networks. In addition, creating significant employment opportunities within the community has been a critical part of the development proposal, with a range of zones and uses created to maximise the opportunity for businesses to thrive in this newly urbanised environment.
