Future Population and Housing Growth

Hibiscus & Bays Local Board Area

~114,000

people (2023 Census)

Projected to reach

~132,000

by 2048 under a medium growth scenario

High growth scenario could push higher (depending on migration, development etc.)

Strategic Location

  • Located within the Hibiscus & Bays Local Board, covering Silverdale, Orewa, Whangaparāoa and adjacent suburbs – one    of Auckland’s fastest growing residential nodes
  • Good connectivity: SH1, buses, proximity to amenity centres; growing infrastructure investment increasing accessibility
  • Strong residential and employment growth underpinning long-term demand for commercial and industrial space
  • Transport-Oriented Development
  • Penlink expected to add major connectivity improvements for Whangaparāoa / Silverdale catchments
  • Existing public transport services plus planned upgrades support commuting to Albany, North Shore, and Auckland CBD
  • Roading improvements on SH1 supporting faster travel north to Warkworth and beyond

Support for New Growth Areas

  • Large residential and commercial development pipeline in Silverdale, Millwater, Milldale and Wainui
  • Demand for housing, services, trade-retail and industrial space increasing in line with population growth
  • 53 Small Road is well placed to take advantage of this growth given its position within the Local Board area, accessibility, and neighbouring developments
