DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS Emerging Concepts and Plans: Land Based Projects
Waterfront Plan – Key Projects Westhaven Promenade: Design and Staging The Westhaven Promenade is a 2 kilometre walkway and cycleway promenade route linking Westhaven and Wynyard Quarter. The project scope is between Daldy and Fanshawe Street (linking with future Daldy Street shared walk-cycleway) west to Sitting Duck café adjacent to Westhaven Drive roundabout. This project was ranked by the public as the highest priority for early investment during consultation on the Draft Waterfront Plan in 2011. The Waterfront Auckland team has now moved in to concept planning stages for this project. An optimal design will be developed and will be delivered in stages to ensure that ‘world class’ can be delivered within the $6.1m budget (see boxed ar eas in site plan above for Stage 1)

Waterfront Plan – Key Projects Westhaven Marine Centre: Early Concept This project involves the development of Westhaven Marine Centre on the 9,623 m2 “Platform 2” site. Both the District Plan and the 2008 Westhaven Harbour Park Concept Plan identify the Platform 2 site as an opportunity for a marine village environment. This project was also consulted on in the development of the Waterfront Plan (2012). The centre will comprise of a marine industry cluster of three to five premises, with a total floor area of 10,000-13,000m2, comprising a mix of office and retail (all of which are marine-related), along with associated site and landscape works. The site is currently used for carparking and the design will accommodate the required level of carparks for the building and the marina. The buildings will be fronted by the Westhaven Promenade and will provide a place for people to stop and rest or grab a bite and enjoy the views back to the city. The project will be developed in two stages with Waterfront Auckland as the master developer.

Waterfront Plan – Key Projects Harbour Bridge Park Redevelopment This project proposes an upgrade of the open space known as Harbour Bridge Park. The upgrade would draw cues from historical, cultural and environmental conditions along the shoreline. There are opportunities to improve the open space and make it a more attractive destination and connect to the Westhaven Promenade and the Local Board coastal walkway initiative. There may also be opportunities to: provide additional recreational access to the water; create picnic spots; create a dog park; provide for temporary uses such as a tourist campervan park to help activate the area. This site will also have to accommodate some additional parking. Funding for this project was scheduled for 2022-23, however there may be an opportunity to bring this forward to take advantage of and connect with other public projects planned for the marina. Part of the park is currently owned by NZTA for motorway maintenance purposes.
Waterfront Plan – Key Projects St Mary’s Bay Redevelopment This project proposes an upgrade of the water quality and the beach at St Mary’s Bay to provide an opportunity to improved pu blic access and enjoyment of this connection to the water in the urban waterfront. An upgrade of the beach will provide an improved waters edge recreational space for small-non motorised boats including youth training (optimist yachts, dragon boats, board paddlers, waka ama and kayaks), picnics and play. Funding for this project was scheduled for 2022-23, however there may be an opportunity to bring this forward to take advantage of and connect with other public projects planned for the marina.
