Rua Hills comprises circa 260 hectares of live zoned land within the Auckland Unitary Plan Redhills Precinct, a new suburb encompassing some 600 hectares of land to the west of Fred Taylor Drive, Massey and adjacent to the Westgate/Massey North Metropolitan Centre.
Rua Hills will be a master-planned community of high quality residential development with a local centre to be established at its core to provide a heart and focal point for the precinct. Proposed schools, extensive parks and stream corridors, green roads (high amenity priority cycle and pedestrian circuits) and public transport routes will create a sense of place that potentially provides an attractive and suitable environment for more intensive residential development.
The Westgate/Massey North Metropolitan Centre (a 56 ha mixed used development located at the nexus of the Northwestern and Upper Harbour motorways) will also serve the high population growth forecast for the area. Commercial developments completed to date in the town centre include a Mitre 10 MEGA store, Palmers, Pak’n Save and Countdown supermarkets, as well as the NorthWest Mall and Costco.
