Due to prolific flowering, seed dispersal and vigorous growth, banksia trees often compete with maturing pohutukawa while banksia seedlings compete with regenerating natives. We're planning for a staged removal of the banksia here over the next few years, allowing for existing trees and planning plantings to replace them. This season, our contractors will also plant pohutukawa where gaps have been created.
See our Waimahanga Walkway page for more information including access and history:

Pictures below show examples of unwanted tree species that can "crowd out" natives, making it harder for them to get established.

The Toolkit outlines 7 easy to follow steps for landowners in the city centre to help determine the feasibility of residential conversion, and how to navigate through specific Council processes. The steps include:
Step 1: How do I get started – is my project feasible?
Step 2: Find the right consultants
Step 3: Understand what consents and approvals will be required
Step 4: Plan for what costs you may incur and when
Step 5: Prepare a programme
Step 6: The design and consenting phase – what to expect
Step 7: The construction phase – what to expect
