Around a third of the country’s population live in Auckland, and projected growth will take the city to a population of 2.5 million by 2040.

Cruise ship arrivals are booming and Auckland’s economy continues to forge ahead, accounting for 36% of New Zealand’s GDP. Coping with Auckland’s success in attracting businesses, visitors and residents demands strategic planning and investment. Auckland’s Mayor has championed the Auckland Council’s first 10-year budget to focus local public spending into transformational projects, as part of the aim to make Auckland the world’s TAMAKI – KAINGA NGA IKA ME NGA WHEUA KATOA! most liveable city.

  • 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.
