Scout Hall relocation projectScout Hall relocation projectScout Hall relocation projectScout Hall relocation projectHow we got to this point...This building was deconsecrated in 1982. Local families raised $15,000 at the time to pay the parish and it became theproperty of Scouting NZ with provision it be available for community use. It was maintained and used by local scout andguide groups until they ceased to operate. Now that the site is to be sold, Scouts and Guides NZ have indicated that theywould like to offer the building back to the community for our continued use.
At present the local primary school is utilising the building part time, and this will continue after it has been resited.Relocation of the building would allow community renovation to take place, and give all members and groups of thecommunity the opportunity to use it. If this does not occur at the same time as removal, we envisage the possibility thatthe building will deteriorate and be less likely to be retained.
Local history searches have ascertained that the church was built in 1907 from swamp kauri milled from a local farm. Itis one of only a few local historic buldings in public ownership. Patumahoe has been targeted for growth in the Aucklandplan, and there is need to preserve our history and character.
Council approves in principle the proposed site which fits with neighbouring school, playground, sportsground,residential properties and walkways. The project has been well publicized with a notice in the village dairy, participationin an open day, and information in quarterly village newsletters. After the resiting we intend to canvas locally fordonations, products, skills and voluntary labour to complete the renovations which will be necessary.

CURRENTLY...working
with Auckland Council
planners to investi-
gate best options to
meet community defined criteria shown in
Village Plan . There is still time to comment,
so please take a moment to review and do
so... changes are easier (and cheaper) to
accommodate at this stage.
EARLY 2012...PUBLIC
MEETING ...Keep an
eye out for an invita-
tion in the New Year
for a public meeting to view the final doc-
uments and plans that will be submitted
to Auckland Council.

Patumahoe Village Plan onlinePatumahoe Village Plan onlinePatumahoe Village Plan onlinePatumahoe Village Plan onlineAll the information and ideas from community have been collated into one document to
provide the priorities for the Village Plan. This document is available online - and can be
downloaded. As well as community consultation, we have contacted local government
and agencies, and planners to obtain relevant guidelines and perspectives.
At present, we are working with low impact design planners and have contacted an-
other strategic planner to take us through the final stages of this project. A public meet-
ing will be held early next year to relay the final draft to Patumahoe & Mauku residents.
