Improving the movement network and streetscape amenity (P1)
- (P1.2.3) The Esplanade open space enhancements and play area: The Council started construction of a new skate and scooter park at 20 – 26 Nayland Street in May 2024, which will deliver the skate park anticipated by this action by the end of 2024. It is the first stage of the ‘Sumner Village Green’, an outdoor space the whole community can enjoy once the second stage picnic space, seating and a double BBQ are delivered.
Creating lanes and courtyard connections (P2)
- (P2.2) Mixed-use development for new commercial opportunities, District Plan investigations: The private developer has lodged a Resource Consent application for a proposed mixed-use development comprising seven residential and three retail units.
- (P2.3) Anchor development at the Esplanade and Marriner Street intersection: The private developer has obtained a Resource Consent for buildings 1 and 2 (wine bar and bakery, 15 apartments and associated communal recreational facilities) of the comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment of the overall site (5 – 11 Marriner Street and 12 The Esplanade). They have lodged Building and Resource Consent applications for Building 1 and Buildings 3 - 6 (apartments) respectively.
Strengthening the retail core (P3)
- (P3.1) Comprehensive redevelopment of Sumner Mall for new road extension: The building of a Supervalue supermarket extension onto 51 Nayland Street has begun. Although this site is not part of and does not compromise the potential Marriner Street-east extension from The Esplanade through to Nayland Street, the project contributes towards redevelopment of the mall.
Supporting the heart of the Sumner community (P4)
- (P4.2) Open space enhancements and courtyard connections: Refurbishment of the former Hollywood Cinema is underway. This will result in an improved outdoor eating area for the café in the same building, thereby contributing to the courtyard areas anticipated in this vicinity of Sumner Village.
