Papakura Heritage Interpretation Strategy

The Papakura Heritage Interpretation Strategy identifies ways to support our heritage storytelling in the local rohe (area). This includes Drury, Papakura and Takaanini / Takanini.

It highlights the stories and long-term connection of mana whenua to Papakura. It also showcases the diversity and uniqueness that makes Papakura a wonderful place to live in and visit.

Our strategy outlines goals and principles to use in related projects. In it, we identify key themes relevant to our area and outline how and where our stories might be told.

Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan

In October 2017 both the Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards adopted the Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan.

This integrated area plan provides a development framework for Manurewa, Takanini and Papakura over the next 30 years.

This plan reinforces the area's role as the gateway to the south, while protecting and improving each centre.

Five key ideas guide the transformation:

• Protect our future.
• Love your centre.
• Celebrate the story.
• Make way for the people.
• A voice for youth.

We will monitor the plan and refresh content so it remains relevant to the area's vision.
