Enlocking Pukekohe : Speakers from Eke Panuku : 22nd April 2024

Speakers from Eke Panuku, lead by Briar Corbett gave us an overview of current and future projects planned to develop Pukekohe to keep pace with our population growth in the years ahead.

These included the development of Roulston Park to make it more child friendly; movement of the Saturday market into the town square and Roulston Street and the development of a "super-block" bordered by Edinburgh St, Devon Lane, Roulston Street and Massey Avenue. This last project would include a dedicated laneway with cafes and restaurants opening out towards the Library in Massey Avenue.
