Market could trade through square construction
of the water feature in Takapuna Square
Takapuna’s Sunday Market should be able to trade continuously at its Anzac St car-park site during the construction of the new Takapuna Square.
Construction of the square is expected to start in April or May 2021 and it was previously thought the market would have to find another site to operate at before returning to its central Takapuna location.
However, Auckland Council development agency Panuku’s project head, Kate Cumberpatch, told the Observer last week it now seemed likely that the market could be moved to the northern end of the Anzac St car park site while construction of the square was in progress.
Cumberpatch said last week Panuku was still “in negotiations” with developers over the wider site.
Submissions were flowing in for the public consultation.
Key recent modifications of the design included positioning a water feature in one of the sunniest spots on the square and including more trees.
“We want to hear from as many people as possible from all perspectives,” Cumberpatch said.
Feedback closes on 14 August. Refined designs will go back to the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board for final sign-off.
