Waterview Precinct Plan Te Mahere-ā-Rohenga o Waterview April 2013
Albert-Eden Local Board Auckland Council He Mihi/Greeting
Ko te muriwai o Te Waitematā he tirohanga wai, he pou herenga waka. Kia tū au ki Te Rae ka tiro whakaroto, ko te ara e tūhono ai te uru ki te puku o te tipua nei o Tāmaki Makaurau. Ka tahuri atu au, ka rere ki te whitinga rā, ko te pare karauna o taku tupuna o Wairaka. Ka hoki ake au mā ngā ara kore puehu te takahitanga a te tini, te whakarerenga mahara o te rahi. Kia tū au i te ngutu awa o Te Whau, ka titiro whakawaho ko Te Rae ko te muriwai o Te Waitematā. Ko Tāmaki Makaurau – herehere waka.
Kia mahue ake me te kī, “Ko te tai te pari ake nei, ehara i te ngaru whakaheke ākau, engari he tai whakapiki tangata te eke mai ki tēnei pae tawhiti me te kawea mai ki uta, i runga i te tūmanako me te moemoeā”.
Nau mai ki te pera urunga i moea ai e rātou kua tau noa mai.
The backwater of the Waitematā is a water view and the mooring place of canoes. From the headland that is Pt Chevalier I can observe, the pathway that joins the West to the core of the city that is Auckland. Turning, I fly to the rising sun and the jewel in the crown that is my ancestress Wairaka, that is Mt Albert. Then, shall I return by dustless roads traversed by many and bearing the memories of even more. To find myself at the river mouth at Avondale looking back to the headland at Point Chevalier and the backwater that is the Waitematā. That is Auckland, mooring place of canoes.
Leaving me to remonstrate; “That this incoming tide is not the breaking of waves upon the reef, but the rising tide of humankind reaching for this distant horizon, carried ashore upon hopes and aspirations.”
Welcome to the pillow on which rests the dreams of those who came before you.
2 Foreword Kupu Whakataki
This precinct plan for Waterview is a significant document in providing the residents, our delivery partners, the Council and the Albert-Eden Local Board a vision for the area.
While the Albert-Eden Local Board has led the development of the precinct plan, the board has only been able to get to this point with the help, advice and response of the local residents, community-based interest groups, and our partners and stakeholders that have a key role in the way you work, live and play in Waterview.
The work of the Waterview Connection, State Highway 20 Western Ring Route project has brought dramatic change to the Waterview area and the community will continue to experience such change, as a major new infrastructure is constructed. We acknowledge the impact this has on the community, and recognise the long-term benefits it will provide to this community, and wider Auckland region.
This precinct plan gathers and reflects the aspirations that you have expressed for Waterview, creates opportunities for growth and change that is responsive to the area and identifies and raises awareness of the values that are intrinsic to this community and surrounding natural and coastal environment. This precinct plan encompasses the need for local improvements to open space, recreational, transport and housing that lift the quality of living in Waterview.
We hope this precinct plan for Waterview will serve to guide you, the community, current and future residents, Council and our delivery partners, to work together over the next 30 years and turn these outcomes and aspirations into a reality. It is with you, we can make Waterview and Auckland become the most liveable community a reality.

8 | WATERVIEW PRECINCT PLAN The Strategic Context Te Whakatau i te Aronga Rautaki
The Auckland region expects an additional one million people and 400,000 new households by 2040. The Auckland Plan is a strategic regional document that provides guidance on how this growth is to be managed without overlooking the attributes and qualities we value most about Auckland. What does the Auckland Plan Development Strategy mean for In striving to achieve Auckland’s vision of becoming Waterview? “the world’s most liveable city”, the Auckland Plan The Auckland Plan Development Strategy shows 1 outlines the following six ‘transformational shifts’ Waterview as an area for moderate change needed to achieve the vision: (Figure 2).3 It is estimated a third of sites will be • Dramatically accelerate the prospects of redeveloped over the 30-year period and a greater Auckland’s children and young people range of new housing types will be developed, • Strongly commit to environmental action and including semi-detached and attached two-storey green growth housing and terraced housing and apartments up to • Move to outstanding public transport within one four storeys. network • Radically improve the quality of urban living This anticipated future growth will improve • Substantially raise living standards for all the viability of a neighbourhood centre within Aucklanders and focus on those most in need Waterview and lead to improvements to roads and infrastructure, parks and reserves whilst • Significantly lift Māori social and economic well- being. responding to the local character, environment and communities in Waterview.

Once the works are completed, most of the permanent works will be below ground with only an access lid visible at ground level. The works are scheduled to begin in 2023.
Waterview Connection - State Watercare’s sites Highway 20, Western Ring Route (Target Completion Date: 2017)
The Northwestern motorway (State Highway 16), which is just north of Waterview, is currently under construction with the development of the Waterview Connection-State Highway 20 (western ring route) project, resulting in major impacts for Waterview (Figure 5).
The project will also integrate road bridges, cycle ways and pedestrian bridges within a suite of urban design, landscaping and environmental enhancements. A number of projects will be delivered in Waterview as part of the ‘mitigation package’ associated with the delivery of the project. This has included purchase of land to increase the size of Kuaka Park, provision of new recreational facilities at Waterview Reserve (BMX track, skateboard park, volleyball court, basketball court, children’s playground), and riparian planting along a Figure 4: Watercare three proposed collector sewer sites section of Oakley Creek.

Table 1: Proposed Housing Zones in the draft Unitary Plan8 Mixed housing (2 storey maximum height) The Mixed Housing zone is proposed to be the most widespread residential zone in Auckland. The zone enables two-storey housing in a variety of sizes and forms (detached dwellings to semi- detached dwellings, town houses and terraced housing and low-rise apartments). A resource consent is required in the Mixed Housing zone where five or more units are being built on a site. The provisions of the zone also ensure that development does not detract from the amenity and character of adjoining development or sites. Terraced housing and apartments The proposed Terraced Housing and Apartment (4 storey maximum height) zone allows urban residential living in the form of terraced housing and apartments. The purpose of the zone is to make efficient use of land and infrastructure, increase the supply of housing and ensure that residents have convenient access to services, employment, education facilities, and retail and entertainment opportunities and to public transport. This will promote walkable neighbourhoods and will also foster a sense of community and increase the vitality of centres. A resource consent is required for all forms of residential development in the zone. A key part of the resource consent process will be determining if the proposal makes efficient use of the site and achieves good design outcomes. For more detail and explanation of the zones and development controls, please refer to the draft Unitary Plan.8
