Eastern Busway will provide more transport choice for East Auckland. But it's also an opportunity for urban regeneration.
The newly formed Auckland Urban Development Office is leading the programme to connect communities and drive growth.
The opportunities are focused on land in easy walking distance to the new bus stations at Pakūranga, on Tī Rākau Drive (Te Taha Wai and Koata stations), and at Burswood (Pōhatu Station), so more people can live and work in areas close to public transport.
It's focusing on land that was acquired for the Eastern Busway that will no longer be needed for transport purposes after the busway construction is complete (called residual land). This may also be supplemented by some strategic property purchases, to enable high quality urban renewal.
