The Fire Service is planning to sell the Takapuna Fire Station property next to Killarney Park if a new venue in Glenfield is approved.

The Fire Service and the National Trading Company have applied for consent with the North Shore City Council for a Pak 'N Save supermarket and a fire station between 30 and 60 Wairau Rd.
