Reducing our water consumption and costs
With annual water costs of around NZ$123,000 and rising, the Committee is exploring individual water metering for each unit. Evidence suggests it can reduce usage significantly while making charges fairer.
Increasing our parkland
Freemans Park is taking up a rare opportunity to expand and reshape its park-like grounds, thanks to Auckland Council’s decision to buy 11 flood-prone units, which are likely to be demolished.
New landscape planning strategy
Freemans Park is developing a landscape masterplan to guide planting and tree decisions in the coming years. Led by Reset Urban Design, specialists in Harry Turbott landscape design, the strategy balances heritage, cost control and long-term resilience.
