Supporting better ways to live: CKL’s role in Hamilton East’s Peachgrove East co-housing development
Peachgrove East, a new co-housing development at 174 Peachgrove Road, in Hamilton, is challenging traditional approaches to residential development by combining sustainability, accessibility and community-focused design in one future-focused neighbourhood.
Designed to support stronger social connection while balancing private and shared spaces, the development will feature a mix of apartments, townhouses and multi-generational homes, alongside communal amenities including shared gardens, wellness spaces and community facilities.
For CKL, it’s exactly the kind of project that reflects how thoughtful planning can help shape better outcomes for communities.
Supporting the bigger picture through transportation planning
CKL provided traffic and transportation engineering advice as part of the resource consent process for Peachgrove East, helping support a development intentionally designed around accessibility, walkability and cycling.
While transportation planning can often happen behind the scenes, it plays an important role in how successfully people move to, from and within a development and ultimately, how well a place functions for the people who live there.
By taking a holistic view of how people interact with their environments, CKL’s transportation engineering team works alongside developers, councils and wider project teams to help create practical, future-focused solutions that support both immediate project needs and long-term community outcomes.
More than infrastructure
For Peachgrove East, that meant contributing to a project focused on making housing more accessible while supporting a vision for connected, community-led living.
From cycle and pedestrian accessibility through to broader transport considerations, CKL’s involvement reflects the role transportation engineering can play in shaping developments that are not only functional, but people-focused.
A collaborative approach to future-focused development
At CKL, transportation engineering is about understanding how people move through spaces, how infrastructure supports lifestyles, and how planning decisions today can influence communities for years to come.
Projects like Peachgrove East demonstrate the value of collaborative development, where planners, engineers, developers and communities work together to rethink what better living can look like.
As Hamilton continues to grow, developments that prioritise accessibility, sustainability and stronger social outcomes are likely to become an increasingly important part of the region’s future.
CKL is proud to support projects that contribute to that vision.
