Kaipara District Council has taken the unusual step of putting off its decision-making on plans for Mangawhai central s $750 million urban development.
Mangawhai usually has 4000 permanent residents, but its population is expected to reach close to 20,000 in the next two decades

The deferment came at last week s Kaipara District Council (KDC) meeting in Mangawhai.
Hearing commissioners have recommended KDC accepts Mangawhai Central Limited s private plan change application, subject to conditions, for the centre of the settlement. At the KDC meeting, the agenda item about it recommended the council voted in favour of the private plan change.
About 4000 people live in Mangawhai, Northland s fastest growing area - and one of the quickest developing in New Zealand. The developer s updated plans would add about 2500 people to that.
