A sizeable landholding that is consented for a major development in the north-west of Auckland is available for purchase.

Located on Pollard Lane in Waimauku, which is less than 20 minutes from Westgate and is a key stop for travellers to Muriwai Beach, the subject site measures 52.32ha.

There is resource consent in place for 76 individual development lots ranging in size from 800sq m to 1,600sq m. State Highway 16 is only 850m away, providing connectivity to key locations in the broader West Auckland area.

Kumeū can be reached in approximately eight minutes, while Westgate, home to an extensive array of amenities, including shopping centres featuring many well-known national retailers and New Zealand’s first Costco, is readily accessible.

Given the location of the north-facing site, it provides a rural and urban feel that will provide future residents with a countryside aspect and the opportunity to occupy a larger home on a sizeable site as part of the quarter acre dream.

There will also be smaller dwellings on offer meaning all requirements can be catered for.

There are education facilities nearby, including sought-after local primary school Waimauku School, which is supported by Huapai District School, and Kaipara College in Helensville for secondary education.

Plans were also unveiled earlier this year for the development of a $113 million golf course and luxury lodge that will be built near this location in Muriwai with the course expected to be ready for play in 2027.

Colliers Directors Josh Coburn and James Appleby have been exclusively appointed to market the site for sale that will be sold as a singular parcel of land and are taking expressions of interest closing at 4pm on Thursday 10 October, unless sold prior.

The approved subdivision plan includes the creation of 76 residential lots, divided across two resource consents issued on 20 December 2022 and 9 August 2024, respectively.

The first resource consent covers the subdivision of part of the site, which is zoned Residential – Single House Zone, into 69 residential lots.

The second consent addresses the remaining seven lots (47-53), which are part of the initial residential subdivision scheme, as well as the balance lot, but falls under the Rural – Rural Production Zone under the Auckland Unitary Plan.

Coburn, Director of Capital Markets and Site Sales at Colliers, says this is an attractive purchasing opportunity for a developer given the potential lower infrastructure costs compared to developing in central Auckland suburbs.

“Services for the lots will be provided via rainwater retention tanks and a private wastewater treatment station with dispersal fields (via resident association),” Coburn says.

“Work is well advanced to lodge EPAs quickly, making this a potential fast-to-market scheme ready to capitalise as interest rates continue to steadily decrease.”

In August, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) delivered its first cut to the Official Cash Rate in over two years causing retail banks to drop their mortgage rates.

With the RBNZ now set to embark on a rate cutting cycle, that will provide greater mortgage affordability for buyers in the coming year.

Appleby, Director of Site Sales at Colliers, says this location offers future residents the opportunity to experience a rural lifestyle with magnificent views.

“Given the location and topography of the site, there are outstanding views that provide a true rural feel,” Appleby says.

“The Waimauku township and its commercial services are only a few minutes away. Further afield, Auckland Airport is approximately 25 minutes away in off-peak conditions and the CBD of Auckland can be reached in about half an hour.

“This is a unique opportunity to acquire a large-scale development site that sits on the rural and urban boundary and we encourage all interested parties to reach out to us to discuss their options.”
