The subject land has recently been rezoned from rural to a new business zone catering for a wide range of activities. Contemporaneously, it was also brought within Metropolitan Urban Limits to enable it to be serviced by public utilities including regional water and drainage. Under a comprehensive structure plan the new Mangere Gateway Business Zone (MGBZ) – Oruarangi, makes provision for the development of an innovative business park, with emphasis placed on creating a pleasant and stimulating working environment though the retention of shelter belts, historic stone fences and provision of pedestrian friendly stereoscopes. Conceptual planning by highly regarded landscape architects and urban designers contributed greatly to the rezoning process.
