The Buckley Precinct will include over 650 homes, neighbourhood shops, early childhood centres and a new primary and secondary school. Roads are designed to make walking and cycling pleasant and safe and buses will provide a connection to Westgate, Albany and the new Hobsonville ferry service. Linear Park is the largest reserve within the Precinct and will have a playground, plenty of seating, fantastic landscaping, public art works and a planted wetland. Linear Park will be constructed as part of the first construction stage in early 2010 and will be completed before the first residents move in.

Each home in the Buckley Precinct will be healthy, warm and energy and water efficient. Superfast broadband services will be available via a fibre optic network that connects to each home, school and business. There will be a mix of stand alone homes, terraced houses and apartments in a variety of sizes to cater for a diverse community.

A detailed design code, a design guide and design panel will ensure that the built environment and landscaping is of high quality.

Buckley will be delivered through a public private partnership between the Hobsonville Land Company and AVJennings. Houses will be built by New Zealand builders.
