Mangaroa valley; proposed Mansfield city development map.

Details
DescriptionPrinted on page 1 of the November 23, 1976 'Leader', with an article where the Chamber of Commerce described the large industrial and commercial provisions of the Waipango scheme as ridiculous; they would be duplicating Upper Hutt's. Improved access over the hills would be expensive; bridging the Hutt River to Craig's Flat might be a more attractive project.
Crest Properties proposed a city which could develop to 30 000 over 25 years. They said they owned or had options on 90% of the land involved, and none outside the area; but they also owned land for a proposed 4 000 000 cubic-metre rubbish tip (December 7 issue).
An aerial view of the valley, with the area envisaged outlined, was printed on page 3.
The August 28, 1979 'Leader' reported that the developers were now planning an 800-home development, and had objected to the district plan's Rural A zoning.
