4 | New clinic on track The new, purpose-built physiotherapy clinic is among the first commercial properties being built within Mangawhai Central Development. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Mangawhai Physiotherapy Bernadette Cooney A new, purpose-built physiotherapy clinic is among the first commercial properties being built within Mangawhai Central Development, an expertly planned township blending residential and light commercial zones with village life in the heart of the Kaipara region. Touted as bringing together Mangawhai Heads and Mangawhai Village, Mangawhai Central Development is designed to include a town square, supermarket, hardware store as well as provision for future schooling, healthcare and retirement living. The large-scale development includes retail, residential and commercial amenities for sale or lease within Northbase industrial park, which delivers 29 commercial and light industrial architecturally designed units across two levels. With the Kaipara District population steadily increasing, the decision to build new within the central development made sense for Mangawhai Physiotherapy owners Cameron and Vicki Barbour. “We’re continuing to grow with the community,” says Cam. “Our goal is to provide a full-service physiotherapy clinic that meets the needs of Mangawhai residents now and in the future.” The clinic continues to operate from its current Insley Street premises until the new building is completed. Their satellite clinic at Coastal Care Physiotherapy Waipu remains open also, ensuring seamless service delivery at both locations. “We’re building a 260sqm purpose-built clinic, which has six treatment rooms, rehabilitation gym, office space and welcoming waiting rooms,” says Cam. “It’s an exciting time for us and the community, and an opportunity to anchor quality healthcare services in the area to cater for the region’s growth.” Cam and Vicki, who recently welcomed their third child, Jackson, into their family and now have three under-five-year-olds, have managed Mangawhai and Coastal Care Physiotherapy for eight years, and both have extensive physio expertise and health-training qualifications. Cam is local to Wellsford, having attended Rodney College before studying at AUT in Auckland, where he graduated in 2011. Vicki also graduated from AUT in 2011, and both have since completed acupuncture training and are certified Mulligan practitioners. Vicki, who has played badminton internationally for New Zealand, specialises in women’s health, Pilates, and sports injury management. Together, they lead a team of five ACC-accredited and experienced physiotherapists, including a hand therapist, offering a comprehensive range of services including manual therapy, injury prevention and injury management, acupuncture, women’s health, and Reformer Pilates. “The new clinic will allow for service expansion, so we’ll definitely look to grow services such as Reformer Pilates, in the new space,” says Vicki. Mangawhai Physiotherapy’s new building is designed by Tauranga-based Marc Vale Architecture, and built by his brother Lance Vale’s building company Coastal Homes Ltd. “Both Marc and Lance have been really good to work with,” says Cam. “They have been communicative all the way through, and their knowledge around consents and the building process has been invaluable. It has been a relatively stress-free experience.” The new premises will include 16 off-street car parks for ease of access for their clients. The Mangawhai Physiotherapy team are excited for their short move from Insley St in central Mangawhai to their new clinic at Mangawhai Central Development, and look forward to welcoming new and existing clients from this October.
