Old Police Station Could Become School | Auckland News

With more residents moving downtown but no nearby schools, parents face long commutes across highways. While some officials push to restore it as a police station or doubt demand, urban advocates argue that big cities like Paris and New York prove apartment-dwelling families need local schools. The Ministry of Education hasn’t committed yet, but is monitoring growth—making this debate a hot topic for urban planning.
