Hobsonville Point: the 'good child' of west Auckland?

As mentioned previously a major development currently occuring in West Auckland is Hobsonville Point.

Hobsonville Point is a development on the Hobsonville Peninsula on the land that used to be owned/used by the Royal New Zealand Air Force. I went for a drive to take a look the other day and the area has certainly come along way. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done but what has been done so far is actually (in my opinion) looking really nice.
Below are some photos that I took and turned in a collage!






What is really interesting though is reading about Hobsonville Point on its website http://www.hobsonvillepoint.co.nz/.
The website basically reads like a checklist for all the current 'it' children of planning; the 4 wellbeings (environmental, economic, social and cultural), sustainability, broadband fibre, mixed-use and mixed-density development, protecting heritage and the list goes on.

How this community continues to develop and evolve over the next few years and further into the future will definiately be something worth keeping an eye on.
