Coastal residents plot to stop apartments, railing against 'bedroom commuters
Stuff - National: 24-Jan-2023
A group of residents in Auckland’s Beach Haven have been startled by plans to build 81 apartments in their “seaside village”, vowing to do anything they can to stop it.
A public meeting was held in January at which 180 attendees discussed how to prevent developer Bentley Studios from getting resource consent to develop a 7000m² site near Cresta Ave and Beach Haven Rd.
One of the attendees fought back tears. “Two-thirds of these apartments are singles or studios which means bedroom commuters who are not going to be a part of this community or have any connection,” she said.
