Executive Summary Introduction 1.1. Waterfront Auckland is an Auckland Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) set up to develop the Auckland waterfront as a location specific development agency. 1.2. Waterfront Auckland leads the delivery of the revitalisation of the waterfront as a key destination and location for businesses, residents and visitors; and assists Auckland Council in uniting the waterfront with the city centre. These actions assist in the development of central Auckland as a creative and vibrant world city. 1.3. Waterfront Auckland has a mix of commercial and public good objectives and receives revenue from a variety of sources. It has service delivery functions as well as being an owner and operator of commercial assets. 1.4. This Statement of Intent (SOI) describes the accountability of the Waterfront Auckland Board of Directors to its Shareholder, Auckland Council, for the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2016. It sets out the nature and scope of our activities, the strategic direction, and projects that will be delivered over the next three years. It also shows how Waterfront Auckland proposes to measure its performance in contributing to Auckland Council’s strategic directions as specified in the Auckland Plan. Key strategic aspects highlighted 1.5. In support of the Auckland Plan objectives, and to achieve the vision for Auckland’s waterfront while promoting a balance of sustainability, resiliency and productivity, a Waterfront Plan has been developed. In this plan, Waterfront Auckland sets out five goals, being the creation of a: Public waterfront; Smart-working waterfront; Connected waterfront; Liveable waterfront; and Blue-green waterfront. 1.6. Strategies for delivering these goals are contained in the Waterfront Plan and form the basis for the strategic content of this SOI. 1.7. These goals are supported by three business objectives: to be a successful business managed with strong commercial disciplines to ensure corporate sustainability; an innovative, sustainable organisation with highly skilled staff and efficient robust business systems; and to demonstrate excellence in customer service provision. 1.8. In essence, Waterfront Auckland’s primary strategic aims during the SOI period are to: a) Leverage public sector investment to attract private sector equity participation that will drive sustainable growth and development, ensuring that all investment attraction initiatives are co-ordinated with the wider Council group; and b) Implement ‘key building blocks’ that will drive transformational change on the waterfront. These include: Public projects – including the waterfront walkway and cycleway (Westhaven Promenade), the Shed 10 events and cruise facility, Daldy and Halsey Street upgrades, and construction of new urban realms in Wynyard Quarter; and 6 Marina and Commercial Property projects - continued development of Wynyard Quarter Central Precinct with the Innovation hub, Westhaven Marine Centre, and residential and hotel development which, together with improved facilities at Westhaven Marina, will provide a showcase of innovative sustainable development and vibrant inner city living. 1.9. Under this SOI, Waterfront Auckland contributes to Auckland Council objectives through a number of strategic initiatives and projects. Performance measurement and reporting 1.10. Non-Financial and Financial Performance Measurements are detailed in Section 5. This section also contains funding assumptions. Operational public space activities are funded by grants from Auckland Council. Public space capital works are funded through equity investment by Council. Commercial property and marina operational activities will be funded through commercial income with any shortfall covered by debt funding. Cash surpluses generated from commercial operational activities not used to reduce debt or fund capital works for commercial activities, over a threshold to be agreed annually, may be returned to the shareholder. Overheads will be allocated across each of the three areas mentioned. 1.11. The Council has set the expected rate of return on investment (ROI) on commercial waterfront activities and marinas at 8% p.a. The target takes account of Council's reasonable expectation of the returns achievable from the commercial property investment portfolio. The Council and Waterfront Auckland will work together to review the allocation and treatment of commercial property that is taken into account in the calculation of the ROI performance against the target set during 2012/2013. 1.12. The budgets for the next three years, as approved by Auckland Council, have indicative ROI values significantly below the expected ROI level of 8%. This reflects the current nature of the commercial portfolio vested in Waterfront Auckland, the timeline for scheduled developments and the loss of income associated with the redevelopment phase of existing tenanted areas. All new development schemes have a threshold ROI of 8% post completion, unless specifically authorised by Board and Council to be lower, due to intervention or other public interest initiatives. 1.13. Capital expenditure and financial forecasts are also contained in Section 5. Waterfront Auckland intends to distribute to Auckland Council funds from commercial activities that are surplus to requirement. We do not envisage making such a distribution within the period of this SOI. 1.14. The commercial value of the shareholder’s investment in Waterfront Auckland as at 30 June 2012 was $375.8 million. 1.15. Reporting to Auckland Council consists of an annual SOI, Annual Report, Half Year Report, Quarterly Reports, and additional information as required by Council. Governance and other matters 1.16. The Waterfront Auckland Board is committed to high standards of governance and business behaviour. Governance matters are canvassed in Section 6 and cover such issues as representation, public meetings, management of strategic assets and the relationship with Auckland Council, other CCOs and stakeholders. 1.17. Risk mitigation strategies

  • THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – Kainga Nga Ika Me Nga Wheua Katoa! Auckland – Where the Fish Are So Succulent You Can Eat Them Bones and All!
    THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – kainga nga ika me nga wheua katoa! Auckland – where the fish are so succulent you can eat them bones and all! This proverb alludes to the once abundant and sought after marine resources of Auckland’s waterfront. It signals Waterfront Auckland’s desire to create a sustainable waterfront providing for the current and future generations of Aucklanders. A place all Aucklanders can access the Waitemata Harbour for recreation, business or cultural practices. FOREWORD The waterfront has reignited Aucklander’s pride in their city. The pride and enthusiasm with which Aucklanders have embraced their new waterfront continues to amaze me. Although in its infancy, stage one of the redeveloped Wynyard Quarter and the expanse of Queens Wharf, attract people day after day, rain and shine. When Waterfront Auckland put forward its draft plans for the redevelopment of the whole waterfront last year we received hundreds of letters, emails and submissions. Most were hugely positive. “Just get on with it!” was the cry. Our job at Waterfront Auckland is to lead the momentum of the revitalisation, and of pride. Having listened to Aucklanders, we have refined our plans and here, we present a vision for how the waterfront could be redeveloped, how it can continue to create transformational change. We are living in an extraordinary time, perhaps unprecedented in recent history where opportunity is constrained and likely to remain so for some time to come. Our approach in these plans is to strike a balance that seizes opportunity while it is offering and continues to strive for a visionary outcome that our city and its people deserve.

  • WATERFRONT AUCKLAND : a Heritage Study | 1
    The Auckland Waterfront Heritage Study PREPARED FOR Waterfront Auckland 11045 | October 2011 CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION 1 HERITAGE STUDY 3 APPENDICES 19 1 Chronology 19 2 Bibliography 40 3 Maps and Plans 46 4 Auckland Waterfront Plans 50 - Maori Cultural Landscape - European Cultural Landscape – Eastern Waterfront - European Cultural Landscape – Central Business District - European Cultural Landscape – Western Waterfront - Port Development 5 Historic Images 56 Introduction Waterfront Auckland (An Auckland Council Organisation) has commissioned Salmond Reed Architects (SRA) to undertake research as the foundation for a heritage trail within their administrative area. This area extends from Teal Park in the east to Point Erin Park in the west and is bounded by Tamaki Drive, The Strand, Parnell Rise, Beach Road, Customs Street, Fanshawe Street, Halsey Street, Victoria Street West, Beaumont Street, State Highway 1, Sarsfield Street and Curran Street, Herne Bay. (as illustrated below) A number of heritage walks have already been produced by the former Auckland City Council, including walks for Ponsonby, Downtown, Midtown, Uptown, Original Foreshore, Princes Street University Quarter. In addition, a University heritage trail was produced by the University of Auckland Business School. It is anticipated that this report will form the basis of a waterfront heritage trail publication in the same hand-held format used for the existing walks. The study sits within a broader framework established by the former Auckland City Council before the Supercity amalgamation of 2010. Its publication: The Historic Landscape, Guidelines to a New Approach, outlines a methodology based on emerging national and international best practice to consider a holistic landscape view of heritage, rather than the current segmented and discipline-based view of individual heritage resources, which groups them into categories such as geology, archaeological sites, sites of significance to Maori, trees, ecological sites and buildings and structures.

  • Rugby World Cup 2011: Evaluation Report Message from the Chief Executive
    RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011: EVALUATION REPORT MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE December 2011 It has only been a few months since Auckland was the hub of Rugby World Cup 2011, but our region has been transformed forever. Most of us hold extremely fond memories of the tournament itself, the numerous events surrounding it which showcased Auckland to the world, and, of course, the result, with the All Blacks winning the cup for the first time since 1987. I am very pleased to present this evaluation report on RWC 2011 and Auckland’s role in the hosting of it. It is a largely independent report, with three external consultants led by Sapere conducting the evaluation, along with Market Economics and Gravitas. Evaluations have also been incorporated from lead agencies Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED), Regional Facilities Auckland (RFA) and Waterfront Auckland. Overall this evaluation is very favourable and commends the efforts of the multiple agencies involved in the hosting of 15 matches in Auckland over the six weeks. Almost 750,000 fans attended matches at the two Auckland stadiums, Eden Park and North Harbour Stadium. RWC 2011 was a world-class experience for the estimated 107,000 domestic and international visitors who visited the city and an invaluable opportunity to establish Auckland as a desirable major events destination. Consider the fact that the Auckland Council Group delivered around 139 individual projects to carry out the city’s role in hosting RWC 2011. We learned lessons from every single one of them - 99 per cent of which were positive, some which showed opportunities for improvement.
