    Low Impact Urban Design and Development: Making It Mainstream

    LOW IMPACT URBAN DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT: MAKING IT MAINSTREAM Charles Eason 1, Surya Pandey 1Clare Feeney 2, Marjorie van Roon 3 and Jenny Dixon 3 1 Landcare Research, Private Bag 92170, Auckland 2 Environment Business Group, P.O. Box 68440, Auckland 3 Department of Planning, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland The accelerating rate of urbanisation is putting tremendous pressure on ecosystems in and around our cities. Although basic health problems are largely resolved by utilising the European city panacea of extensive stormwater and wastewater piping, New Zealand is plagued by more sophisticated pollution problems that are citywide in nature. The challenge remains primarily in the area of stormwater and wastewater, but to these can be added site contamination, stream protection, site rehabilitation, terrain stability, and sediment management. This paper reviews the literature on low impact urban design and development and presents preliminary data on the utility of treatment walls and re- engineered soils to contain water, contaminants, and sediment. Evidence is also presented from stakeholder interviews to identify impediments to the implementation of these approaches. INTRODUCTION Rapid urban growth puts pressure on the capacities of natural resources and physical infrastructure (MfE, 2000). Both greenfields development and urban retrofitting lead to increasing demands on conventional infrastructure (e.g. energy, transport, reticulated pipe networks). The costs of maintaining existing and new systems using conventional design and engineering approaches are escalating. The Auckland region will be spending >NZ$5,000 million over the next 10 years to replace aging pipes and meet the demands of new development for water, wastewater and stormwater services alone (Manukau City Council website http://www.manukau.govt.nz/getinfo.htm ).

    Titirangi West including Oratia, Green Bay, Wood Bay, French Bay, Konini, Waiatarua, Parau, Kaurilands, Huia, Cornwallis and Laingholm he wooded suburb of Titirangi is inextricably linked with certain enduring images: Ttree-huggers, potters in home-spun jumpers, old Rovers in British-racing green with Greenpeace stickers, disappearing up bush-lined driveways. Trees are to Titirangi as coffee is to Ponsonby. Mention the place and most people think “bush”, and the 1970s vintage timber houses tucked out of sight, and often out of sun, amongst the trees. Many of Titirangi’s homes sit high above the Manukau Harbour with glorious sea views and distant city vistas. The suburb’s little village emphasises the feeling that you’re far from the madding crowd. Just five minutes up the road Oratia, with its big flat sections and views back towards the city, is one of the best-kept secrets of these parts. :DLWDNHUH Population Profile 6ZDQVRQ 5DQXL (GPRQWRQ Population 25,071 % Aged Under 15 Years 22.23 % Aged Over 65 Years 10.23 3DOP+HLJKWV *OHQGHQH % European 77.33 .HOVWRQ % Maori 7.24 % Pacific Peoples 4.45 2UDWLD 2UDWLD % Asian 5.48 .DXULODQGV *OHQ(GHQ6RXWK :DLDWDUXD *UHHQ%D\ Who Lives There? 7LWLUDQJL :RRG%D\ Traditionally, Titirangi has appealed to 0DFNLHV5HVW 0DFNLHV5HVW )UHQFK%D\ the artistically inclined and to bush-lovers.

    Motu Manawa Whau River Rosebank Road

    MoMentoIssue 13 March 2013 photoforum Motu Manawa Whau River Rosebank Road he content for this issue of MoMento came about via Marcus Williams’ invitation to participate in The Rosebank Project – a curated art event involving many multi-disciplinary artists - for the 2013 TAuckland Arts Festival. The Rosebank project begins with the premise that through a better knowledge of place, communities grow and that culture is the mechanism by which this occurs. The project is centered in the industrial precinct and suburban area of Rosebank Rd in Auckland, New Zealand, built over an estuarine peninsula of significant ecological worth and geological interest; the site of the oldest market gardens in Auckland. In the western reaches of the upper Waitemata Harbour, Rosebank Peninsula has the Whau river on its western side, Pollen Island and Motu Manawa Marine Reserve at the northern end and Avondale Racecourse and Jockey Club at its southern end. Marcus Williams I am only vaguely familiar with the Rosebank peninsula as location. I recall spending some time looking for a warehouse suitable for a photographic studio in the mid 1990s. Later I had my old Renault car repaired there many times by a specialist mechanic with his workshop on the edge of an industrial precinct near a bank of the Whau River. So I was most appreciative of Marcus’ incentive to involve local organisations to assist and inform the artists, such as Avondale/Waterview Historical Society Inc., Avondale Community Gardeners, Whau River Catchment Trust, and the Rosebank Business Association. Their websites, as well as the former Waitakere Council-produced brochure The Whau: our streams, our river, our backyards, acted as excellent guidebooks for this tourist photographer.
