Executive Summary Introduction 1. This business case is for the conservation and development of the Vos site and waterspace (Lot 3, Hamer Street, Wynyard Quarter) into a broad-based heritage and maritime themed experience for the public, visitors and the boating community. The main focus of the development will be conservation of the last wooden boatbuilding shed in New Zealand. This historic site (land and waterspace) will be converted into a Marine Heritage Centre to engage a diverse range of users in the heritage and commercial activity of a living and working harbour edge. The development will continue the legacy and art and craft of wooden boatbuilding, established by Percy Vos. 2. The dominant benefit of the proposal is the heritage conservation of the Vos boatbuilding shed, the last wooden boatbuilding shed in New Zealand. A BCR has been calculated at 1.8:1.5 (refer Attachment 10) showing a positive result. It is estimated that the BCR could be higher given there a number of smaller benefits identified that were not monetised. This is a positive outcome for a public project that conserves a building of heritage nature. The cost is the NPV of the foregone commercial market income to Waterfront Auckland, to 2042. Note that the BCR is yet to be professionally peer reviewed by SGS Economics and Planning. 3. The Options analysis for the Vos site was performed in the July 2011 Vos and Brijs Development Study (refer Introduction, Section 2). The recommended Option A was confirmed and agreed by the Waterfront Board to retain the heritage part of the Sanford site (“the optimum character solution”) and allow future redevelopment of the remaining site and waterspace. The subdivision of the Sanford site has now been completed (March 2013) to allow for the conservation and development of the heritage component to proceed i.e.: Vos Yard and waterspace development. Refer Attachment 7 for subdivision plan. 4. The Development Study also recommended the establishment of a Trust comprised of interested groups that could see the Vos Yard developed as a Marine Heritage Centre. The Percy Vos Charitable Trust (PCVT) was formally established in November 2011 and gained charitable status 19 March 2013. 5. Waterfront Auckland will Project Manage this Council funded project, working in partnership with the PVCT who will build, manage and maintain the new facility. As custodians of the new Vos facility, PVCT will manage the building against a Business Plan (refer Attachment 9) and Conservation Plan. The fallback position will be Waterfront Auckland as managers and owners of Vos Yard should the PVCT fail as custodians. 6. The recommended lease and funding structure to enable the development is outlined in Section 3. Waterfront Auckland remains landowner, ground leasing the Vos site to the Built Heritage Acquisition Fund (BHAF) of Council at $0. BHAF sub-lease the site to the PVCT (as owners of the improvements) funding the PVCT led development at a cost of $4.7m. BHAF will require PVCT to buy back and own the asset in ~ 4 - 5 years (terms to be agreed). PVCT will take full development, management and operational responsibility of the new Marine Heritage Centre (refer Attachment 9). 7. To facilitate progress Waterfront Auckland must apply to Council to change the designation of the Vos site from a Commercial to Public property asset (receiving $0 income with no 8% ROI required). 8. Remaining actions required following relevant approvals are for the development of the Vos Yard and waterspace to progress via the proposed partnership with the PVCT and the proposed funding and leasehold arrangement (refer Section 3, Figure 3). PVCTs funding sources and approach are summarised in Attachment 3. The main commitment for capital funding will be sourced from a fixed number of High Net Worth individuals who will provide ~ $3m over three years. Single Stage Business Case | 4 9. LTP budget (FY 2013) for the Sanford subdivision is $1m. This budget allows completion of Waterfront Auckland’s Annual Business Plan 2012 / 13 initiative Stage 1: Subdivision and new lease with Sanfords. This proposal progresses Stage 2: “Finalise agreement to facilitate the development of a Marine Heritage Centre.” 10. Changing designation of the Vos site to Public presents potential lost revenue for the 1,115m2 land space and 2,043m2 waterspace of $130k pa + future rent reviews and escalations. Total rental income foregone to Waterfront Auckland to 2042 is $5.3m; opportunity cost NPV of ($1.58m) (8.25% discount rate 2015 – 2042). 11. Subject to Waterfront Auckland, BHAF and Council approvals, the project is estimated to take 18 months to complete with completion programmed for January 2015. Strategic Case 12. The 2012 Waterfront Plan specifically refers to the Vos & Brijs Heritage Slipway as a key initiative in the Wynyard Quarter. The Waterfront Plan also refers to the project as “preservation of the historic boatyard and slipway as part of a broader redevelopment project.” This proposal is also indicated in the Waterfront Plan as a project to support the marine and fishing industries. The projects and actions to support the marine and 13. Waterfront Auckland’s Statement of Intent (SoI) to 2015 includes the Vos Yard and waterspace development Stage 1 as a “Confirmed Strategic Project / Public Project” with Capex budget (public) LTP 2012 – 2022 $1m. As outlined in the Introduction, this proposal is in Waterfront Auckland’s current Annual Business Plan 2012 / 13 as an “Agreed project.” 14. This proposal is significantly aligned with Waterfront Plan objectives of “Public Waterfront,” “Smart Working Waterfront,” “Blue Green waterfront,” and “Liveable Waterfront.” This is in particular with regard to the Culture and Heritage aspects of a Public Waterfront and providing a place for authentic and gritty waterfront activities. 15. The key project outcome is preserving the maritime heritage of the Vos Yard site which directly contributes to the Auckland Plan’s Strategic Direction 4: “Protect and Conserve Auckland’s Historic Heritage for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.” 16. A facilitated Investment Logic Mapping (ILM) workshop for the Vos Yard Development and waterspace was held on 21 March 2013. The investment benefits delivered by this project are: Conservation of Vos Yard; a well utilised public facility with debt repaid, creation of a public destination with regular visitation and Vos Yard becoming an exemplar heritage organization. 17. One risk has been assessed as inherently “High” in the proposal: Consenting risk from a public safety aspect due to proximity of the Bulk Liquids operations (lease expiry / exit ~ 2022). However, given the mitigation strategies in place and normal business processes will apply, it is anticipated that this will not cause significant project disruption. Economic Case 18. This proposal is predicated on the Vos & Brijs Development Study, July 2011, Option A as agreed by the Waterfront Auckland Board (refer Attachment 5). Option A separates the heritage component of the Sanford site. The subdivision has now been complete utilising LTP budget of $1m. 19. A high level Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) was appraised (refer Attachment 9) based on the SGS Economics and Planning (Melbourne) framework. The BCR is 1.8:1.5 and does not monetise a number of smaller benefits that the new Marine Heritage Centre will afford. While this is a positive BCR for a public project, the overarching benefit also remains; that the last wooden boatbuilding shed in New Zealand is conserved. 20. The opportunity cost (used in the BCR) to Waterfront Auckland is the foregone commercial market rental achievable for the Vos site (land and waterspace) which could otherwise be achieved; $5.3m to 2042; NPV cost of ($1.58m).

  • 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.

  • Auckland's Waterfront: Legacy Benefits of America's Cup Summary
    Auckland’s waterfront: legacy benefits of America’s Cup Summary Hosting the 36th America’s Cup is Auckland’s next chance to continue the downtown waterfront’s transformation, and to leave a long-term legacy for Aucklanders and visitors. The next America’s Cup events are an exciting opportunity for Auckland to show off our beautiful harbour and incredible sailing technology. Once the events are over, Auckland will also enjoy some significant legacy benefits: Upgraded public spaces and access to the waterfront from Hobson and Halsey wharves Permanent land and sheltered water space for existing and future water-based events Potential long-term base for Emirates Team NZ (ETNZ), and flexible water-side building for community and maritime uses Long term infrastructure for marine uses – fit-out and haul-out facilities ( Wynyard Point marine precinct) Additional berths for recreational and tourism uses, and as attractors to the waterfront Introduce public uses to Wynyard Point, currently an industrial area, but an place that will change over time to a major destination park and mixed use development Relocation of Sealink and other maritime uses, freeing up Viaduct and Wynyard Basins for other uses This next phase of waterfront regeneration builds on decades of planning that envisaged a working waterfront that linked the city to the sea, and reflected our marine heritage and culture. In the next five years, the last of the tanks will depart from Wynyard Point, completing the vision of generous public spaces where people can experience the harbour up close and personal – without needing a boat. The city’s valuable marine industry will continue to thrive, supporting the goals of a sustainable, accessible working waterfront.
