Johnsonville Town Centre Plan - Johnsonville Projects

Overview

Johnsonville Road and mall

The Council is currently working on a number of projects in Johnsonville.

Johnsonville Library

The Council is investigating options for expanding the Johnsonville library and has identified four potential sites for a new building.

The four proposed plans for the Johnsonville Library expansion went out for public consultation from 6 December 2011 to 16 February 2012.

Two of the plans involve creating new facilities - either on the current site or at a new site next to Keith Spry Pool and Johnsonville Community Centre. Two others involve leasing space either in the upgraded Johnsonville Mall or within a proposed redevelopment of the Mobil service station site on Johnsonville Road.

Next Steps

The decision about which plan to use for the Johnsonville Library Expansion will affect the Council's Long Term Plan, which outlines our funding priorities for the next 10 years. The time line for deciding these priorities will be as follows:

• February 2012 - the Council will review the Long Term Plan.
• April 2012 - the Council will release the draft plan for community feedback.
• June 2012 - the Council will make a final decision on the Long Term plan and our spending priorities.

Johnsonville Mall Redevelopment

The Council has granted Diversified NZ Property Fund and DNZ Property Fund Ltd (DNZ) a resource consent to redevelop Johnsonville Shopping Centre over five years. This consent is for the first stage of the project and allows for the construction and redevelopment of shops, pedestrian areas, parking areas and vehicle access to service shops.

The redevelopment of the mall will occur in two stages. Once stage one is underway, DNZ will decide whether to continue with stage two of the work.

Stage One

The first stage involves:

• redeveloping and upgrading the existing shopping centre. Note, the shops along the following streets will largely remain untouched by this stage of the project:
  
  • Johnsonville Road (south of Hawea Street)
  • Broderick Road (at the north-east corner, where it meets Johnsonville Road)
• constructing a separate four-level parking building for a maximum of 1,280 car parks. This will sit in the south-west corner of the site, where there are plans to also build the centre's management offices, a few shops and a gymnasium.

The Council has approved DNZ's request for a change to the original consent. The revised design plan is similar to the one approved in the original consent, but it includes:

• minor changes to the façades of some of the existing buildings on Broderick Road and Johnsonville Road
• greater pedestrian access from Johnsonville Road.

Stage Two

If DNZ decides to continue the redevelopment work of Johnsonville Shopping Centre, they will request a resource consent from the Council for a further period of 10 years.

The second stage of construction involves:

• redeveloping the existing shops along the following streets:
  
  • Johnsonville Road (south of Hawea Street)
  • Broderick Road (at the north-east corner, where it meets Johnsonville Road)
• Building rooftop car parking facilities on Hawea Street and Broderick Road
• creating additional car parks. During stage one and stage two of the project, a total of up to 1,380 car parks will be built, including parking for 80 vehicles at the Countdown supermarket.
