Clevedon’s long-awaited town centre upgrade is a step closer with detailed designs progressing on the $2.8 million project and public consultation expected next month.
Since consulting on the concept plan in 2024, Franklin Local Board has successfully secured $1.2m through Auckland Council’s $20 million Fix and Finish Fund, helping fast-track the project towards delivery.
At its 1 September 2026 workshop, the board received an update on draft designs developed with community feedback front of mind.
Franklin Local Board Chair, Alan Cole says securing the funding was a significant milestone.
“We were thrilled to secure this funding, as it was only available to projects that were ready to progress and in parts of Auckland within the former Manukau City Council area,” he says.

“This investment brings us much closer to delivering the vibrant village centre Clevedon deserves. We’re looking forward to sharing the detailed designs and hearing what the community thinks before construction gets underway.”
The proposed upgrade includes a reconfigured off-street parking area, improvements to the play area, a new green space, new public toilets, a bike hub to better welcome recreational cyclists and visitors.
Community feedback has already shaped the plans with additional play features to cater a wide range of ages, shelter and shade sails over the picnic area and more.
Residents will have another opportunity to have their say when detailed designs go out for consultation in October 2026.
Construction is expected to begin in May 2027.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming design reveal and details on how to get involved.
