In August this year, new public spaces, restaurants and a tram loop opened on Wynyard Quarter. Along with a new bridge linking the area to the Viaduct, this development has already started to transform the way Aucklanders are using this part of their city.
There is real excitement.
The draft Waterfront Plan proposes initiatives for the future development of the waterfront. It builds on previous plans and starts to develop new ideas. It is a chance to have a fresh look at how the waterfront can be developed over the next thirty years and we want to know what you think.
A ten kilometre public promenade from the Harbour Bridge to TEAL Park. Twenty new places for you to enjoy: new beaches, parks and opportunities to "touch" the water. New facilities to grow the cruise, marine and fishing industries. A vibrant new community at Wynyard Quarter. Protection and celebration of important waterfront character and heritage. Places to grow business. An easy walk from the downtown to the waterfront with laneways to discover and explore. These are just some of the proposed projects.
