  • Travel Management Plan Sylvia Park 286 Mount Wellington
    Travel Management Plan for Sylvia Park 286 Mount Wellington Highway, Mount Wellington September 2016 Revision History Date Issue Description April 2016 1 Version 1 for “Office G” RC Application September 2016 2 Version 2 for “Galleria” RC Application 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Travel Management Plan has been prepared for Sylvia Park, 286 Mount Wellington Highway, Auckland. Sylvia Park is owned by Kiwi Property Limited (Kiwi) and construction began on the centre in 2004. Sylvia Park has been the subject of two private plan changes. The most recent plan change (2010) resulted in a new concept plan for Sylvia Park (Ref: G14-15) being incorporated into the Operative District Plan. Under the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan, Sylvia Park is zoned as a Metropolitan Centre. Metropolitan Centres are second only to the CBD as regional hubs for retail, commerce, entertainment, and accommodation. The current development at Sylvia Park (either already constructed or currently under construction) consists of the following uses: • Retail: 56,400m² GFA • Food and Beverage: 3,747m² GFA • Other: 13,253m² GFA • Car parks: 4,358 spaces There are also resource consents in place for four office buildings containing a total of 48,000m² of GFA that have not yet been constructed. Resource consent has also recently been granted for Office Building G, which will provide for 11,300m² GFA of office, and 4,340m² GFA of retail, food and beverage and other activities. This Travel Management Plan has been updated in support of an application for ‘Galleria’, a second storey retail expansion of the southern mall which will provide for 17,720m² of retail space including food and beverage tenancies, plus 303m² of amenity areas (a crèche and toilets).
