That extension would extend the current breakwater by some 156m from west to east, in the general direction of Wynyard Wharf and the Auckland CBD. As a result, it would in-fill one of two entry channels that currently provide boating access in and out of the marina. The proposal would also make provision for vehicular and pedestrian access to the end of Westhaven Marina’s northern causeway, and from there, to a reconfigured Pier A – appended to the very end of the existing breakwater and causeway – while two new berthage piers would replace both the present entry channel and the pile moorings immediately east of it. The seaward side of the proposed reclamation would comprise a series of public spaces culminating in an artificial ‘headland’, or lookout, projecting out over the edge of the Waitemata Harbour. Westhaven Marina: showing both entry channels and the area of proposed causeway extension between the current causeway / car park and the marina’s outer breakwater. The proposed development includes provision for 103 new car parks, including mobility spaces, and service bays for each pier on the ‘inside’ of the breakwater, while the public open spaces and terraces would be oriented towards the Waitemata Harbour separated from most of the new car park by bunding, massed native planting and rain gardens. A ‘stand’ of pouwhenua and other cultural elements would frame the approach to the proposed ‘headland’. 2 Brown NZ Ltd – Westhaven Marina Extension April 2017 The proposed development is designed to provide a seamless extension to the northern causeway and its current car parking, with the combination of formal and informal open spaces, including its elevated ‘lookout’, having a strong cultural identity. This part of the extension proposal has been designed in consultation with the Panuku Development Auckland Mana Whenua Collective representing all of Auckland’s 19 tribes. It would provide a logical ‘destination’ for those using the promenade and public walkway recently developed along Westhaven Marina’s southern and western shorelines, as well as ready access to the new berths. This report addresses the landscape, urban amenity and natural character effects of the proposal. In particular, it sets out to: • Analyse the character of the coastal landscape that frames the application site. • Explore the values associated with different parts of that contextual landscape and its key features. • Identify the receiving environments and audiences exposed to the proposal. • Evaluate the effects of the application on different sectors and audiences – employing representative viewpoints and appropriate assessment criteria. • Provide a series of key findings, taking into account both the viewpoint analysis and other relevant considerations. • Analyse the proposal’s implications in relation to relevant landscape, amenity and natural character provisions. • Reach conclusions about the overall acceptability of the proposal. 1.1 PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION The proposed extension of Westhaven’s northern causeway and breakwater is designed to expand the number of piers and berths within the current footprint of the marina. The proposal would add 268 berths to Westhaven Marina’s current inventory of 1479 berths. These would replace 209 existing pile moorings. Other core components of the proposal comprise: • An additional 156m of reclamation extending eastwards from the termination of Westhaven’s current causeway, breakwater and main car park. Most of the car parking and open space across the new reclamation would have Reduced Levels (above sea level) aligned with those found across the current causeway – to accommodate the merger of new and existing car parks – but proposed bunding between the proposed car park and public open spaces would be elevated another 600-700mm above sea level to provide a partial barrier against wave fetch in extreme weather events. The proposed reclamation would be rock armoured and would merge seamlessly with the current breakwater’s sea wall and marina abutments. • Removal of some 103 existing pile moorings from an area immediately east of the current ‘western’ entry channel. This would accommodate the development of 117 new berths, which, in combination with the new pile moorings, would accommodate some 326 vessels with an average berthage length of 13.4m. This expansion would be achieved via the reconfiguration of an existing Pier A and the construction of two new piers. Each pier would have a covered security gate, together with a loading bay and service bay. 3 Brown NZ Ltd – Westhaven Marina Extension April 2017 • Provision of 103 car parks, including at least three mobility spaces. These would be subdivided into a series of bays, demarcated – both physically and visually – by planters containing the ‘Maori Princess’ variety of pohutukawa (a more upright provenance of the species) and massed native underplanting. • Development of a series of public open spaces: commencing with an area of open lawn and terraces / decking near the relocated RNZ Yacht Squadron starters box, then an informal ‘bush trail’ leading to a cluster of 19 pouwhenua – one for each of Auckland’s tribes – before arrival at a timber ‘waka headland’ projected out over the harbour edge. • Development of bunding and bands of massed native planting – employing mountain flax, cabbage trees and standard pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) – to enclose and frame the public spaces focused on the Waitemata Harbour. • Provision of up-lighting for the pouwhenua, then two rows of light columns down the length of the ‘waka headland’. All of the proposed reclamation would be accessible to members of the public, and the design of the proposed public spaces, planting, and, in particular, of the waka headland, has emerged after extensive consultation with the Panuku Development Auckland Mana Whenua Collective. In the process, there has been in-depth review of different options and ideas for providing a public realm that is meaningful to mana whenua, that addresses related iwi concerns about stormwater management and other biophysical issues, and that addresses iwis’ historic associations with the Waitemata Harbour. The current proposals also address interaction with other key features that are visible from the reclamation site, including the harbour entrance, Mt Takarunga / Mt Victoria, Rangitoto, the Auckland CBD and the harbour bridge. In addition, the open spaces proposed are designed to provide a symbolic terminus / destination and civic space as the logical culmination of the promenade already developed around the southern and western sides of Westhaven Marina. Of importance to the Panuku Development Auckland Mana Whenua Collective, the current proposals respond appropriately and positively to the Te Aranga Māori Design Principles, which Panuku Auckland support – including: • Kaitiakitanga: managing and conserving the environment as part of a reciprocal relationship, based on the Māori world view that we as humans are part of the natural world • Manaakitanga: the ethic of holistic hospitality whereby mana whenua have inherited obligations to be the best hosts they can be • Wairuatanga: the immutable spiritual connection between people and their environments • Kotahitanga: unity, cohesion and collaboration • Whanaungatanga: a relationship through shared experiences and working together which provides people with a sense of belonging • Mātauranga: Māori / mana whenua knowledge and understanding 4 Brown NZ Ltd – Westhaven Marina Extension April 2017 The proposed breakwater extension: note the red line demarcates the boundary between existing and proposed car parking Building on this platform, the current proposal is supported by the Panuku Development Auckland Mana Whenua Collective as it would help to affirm important landscape connections and values, eg: Tohu – The Wider Cultural Landscape • Allows visual connection to significant

  • 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.

  • The Draft Plans for Westhaven Summary
    THE DRAFT PLANS FOR WESTHAVEN SUMMARY_ 1 A MARINE ICON Westhaven Marina is a precious icon of Auckland. It epitomises the City of Sails lifestyle and our marine and sailing culture. To make sure this treasure continues to operate as a premier marina facility, and is a welcoming place for all Aucklanders to explore and spend time in, we’re putting together a plan for how the area is improved for the future. The draft plans for Westhaven focus on five key areas: • public spaces and activation • sustainable development and environmental enhancement • culture and heritage • more efficient use of the 530,000m2 waterspace and 82,889m2 land within the marina • parking and transport needs This document provides a summary of the draft plans for Westhaven. We want to make sure you have the opportunity to take a look at the plans and give your feedback before they are finalised. For more detail on any of the projects outlined in this document visit www.waterfrontauckland.co.nz 2 HISTORY The waterfront is where Auckland began. The gathering of fish and shellfish, the harvesting of crops, and the plying of trade have been part of the waterfront’s earliest history. There are a number of former headland pā bookended by Ok¯a (Point Erin) and Taur¯arua (Point Resolution) with Te Rerenga-Oraiti (Point Britomart) in between that provided vantage points to monitor the comings and goings on the harbour. Established in the 1940s, Westhaven Marina is the largest marina in the Southern Hemisphere. Formed within St Mary’s Bay, it is a cornerstone of Auckland’s rich maritime heritage.
