I understand they wish to extend and concentrate on one runway 34/16 ?

The other runway would be sold as commercial developments is my guess and financing seems to be based upon the carve up of this land. Interesting since the local maori have prior claim if the land is withdrawn from airport use.

What sort of aircraft would cope with the current 1350m runway ?

Thereis hardly any fencing around the airport, so security would be a significant worry. Anybody care to hazard a guess how many people in the immediate catchment would want to fly to Auckland each morning ?
