Some houses are advertised as being close to transport links - but a bus shelter right in front of your front door wouldn't be welcomed by any prospective home owner.
Two brand new town houses in Hobsonville Point Drive, Auckland are hemmed in by a bus shelter - which authoritiessay will have to be shifted.
A bus stop directly in front of a front door on Hobsonville Point Drive in Hobsonville.
Technically the bus shelter was there first, before the town houses were constructed, and the gap between the shelter and the houses is barely a metre from the two driveways.
The bus stop is also a hot discussion topic on the Hobsonville Community Facebook Page.
HLC chief executive Chris Aiken said "such things happened all the time" in big project developments.
"You get a developer who comes up with a better plan than the original master plan and some things have to be moved. Usually it's a pipe or something underground that you don't see, but in this case it's a bus stop.
"It's actually good practice to do it, rather than build wrong homes around a bus stop."
