Fieldtrip – Hobsonville Site Visit – Walking Tour
Join us for a walking tour of Hobsonville, New Zealand's largest master-planned community development.
This site exemplifies future-focused urban development, with high-density living and mixed-used spaces that could serve as a model for projects nationwide.
We are pleased to have Daniel Williams, retired Managing Director of Woods and a local Hobsonville resident join us. Daniel will offer valuable insights from his extensive experience in land development and provide a unique local perspective on this transformative project.
This is an excellent opportunity for surveyors and land development professionals to explore the intergration of residential, commercial and public spaces, with lessons that can be applied to projects across NZ.
For those wishing to travel by ferry, there is an option to depart from Auckland CBD at 8.25am, we will all return on the 11.05am ferry.
Don’t miss this chance to explore the future of urban development up close!
