Our Future

Milford has a bright future ahead, with an exciting town centre plan in development. With Auckland’s population only rising, the Auckland council is looking to carefully plan the future of business areas such as Milford’s to accommodate the inevitable rise in population. A plan has been developed with the assistance and input of the Milford community groups, this plan although still in its draft stages proposes some exciting developments for the town.

There are four main outcomes to be pursued in the Milford Town Centre plan.

• Outcome One: A strong connection between Milford town centre, Milford Beach and Lake Pupuke
• Outcome Two: Kitchener Road as a pedestrian friendly ‘main street’
• Outcome Three: Quality destinations at the coastal edge and Lake Pupuke that attract locals and visitors to Milford
• Outcome Four: A healthy and attractive Wairau Estuary that is a destination in its own right and has strong connections with the town centre and other Milford destinations
