'Retirement in ruins': planned roads hold 2000 Auckland landowners in limbo
Stuff - National: 22-Apr-2023
A 78-year-old fears he won't be able to afford aged care now his land is locked up in a notice of requirement issued by Waka Kotahi.
Graham Atchison, who lives in Auckland’s Kumeu, is one of about 2000 landowners who recently received similar news in their letter box, and hundreds more notices are still to come.
Atchison said plans that require a large chunk of his property for a proposed State Highway 16 bypass have made his property encumbered and “unsaleable”.
