With a population of over 27,000, Pukekohe is the 24th largest urban area in New Zealand and the third largest in the Auckland region. Known for its rich agricultural roots, the town is now on the cusp of major transformation—with around 1,700 hectares of land set aside for future urban development over the next 30 years.
Guided by Eke Panuku’s visionary masterplan, Unlock Pukekohe, the town is preparing to welcome an estimated 50,000 new residents. The plan outlines a bold future, with initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure, boosting local business, and enhancing the area’s unique identity.
This rapid growth isn’t limited to Pukekohe. Surrounding regions including South Auckland, Upper Waikato, and the Coromandel Peninsula are also expanding significantly. As a result, the potential patient base for Franklin Day Surgery could exceed 600,000 people.
This rising demand, combined with the increasing strain on New Zealand’s public health system and growing interest in private healthcare, underscores the need for a purpose-built medical hub in the region.
Once fully established, Franklin Day Surgery will offer an integrated healthcare solution for a catchment of more than 600,000 residents—bringing accessible, high-quality private care to the heart of a thriving community.
