  • 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.

  • Auckland Transport Alignment Project April 2018
    Auckland Transport Alignment Project April 2018 Foreword I welcome the advice provided by the Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP). The ATAP package is a transformative transport programme. Investment in transport shapes our city’s development and is a key contributor to economic, social and environmental goals. The direction signalled in this update is shared by Government and Auckland Council and demonstrates our commitment to working together for a better Auckland. Auckland is facing unprecedented population growth, and over the next 30 years a million more people will call Auckland home. Growth brings opportunities but when combined with historic under- investment in infrastructure the strain on the Auckland transport system is unrelenting. Existing congestion on our roads costs New Zealand’s economy $1.3b annually. We need to do things differently to what has been done in the past. Auckland needs a transport system that provides genuine choice for people, enables access to opportunities, achieves safety, health and environmental outcomes and underpins economic development. Our aspiration must be to make sure Auckland is a world class city. Auckland’s success is important not just for Aucklanders, but for our country’s long-term growth and productivity. The Government and Auckland Council have agreed to a transformative and visionary plan. ATAP is a game-changer for Auckland commuters and the first-step in easing congestion and allowing Auckland to move freely. I believe this ATAP package marks a significant step in building a modern transport system in Auckland. ATAP accelerates delivery of Auckland’s rapid transit network, with the aim of unlocking urban development opportunities, encourages walking and cycling, and invests in public transport, commuter and freight rail and funds road improvements.
