Waterfront precincts
The vision has identified four precincts in the waterfront area that,
combined, contribute to the overall character of the area. Each precinct has
distinctive characteristics, a different face, and a mix of specific uses and
activities, which will need to be considered during more detailed precinct
planning and regulatory processes.
The site of the southern hemisphere's largest and most well-equipped marina.
The
marina is located close to the CBD and marine supplies. It will continue to be a
world-class facility while enhancing the whole of the waterfront experience for
visitors.
Western Reclamation and the Viaduct Harbour
Historically, the Western Reclamation has been an area for port-related industry
and marine and warehousing activities.
The end of the Western Reclamation has become known as "the tank farm" because
of the number of bulk liquid storage tanks - containing chemicals, marine fuels,
vegetable and edible oils - which are found there.
The Viaduct Harbour is a dynamic mix of recreation and residential developments,
and a hub of regional entertainment and events.
The central wharves - Princes, Queens, Captain Cook
These wharves are considered water-based extensions of Queen Street and the CBD.
They are home to a range of activities including commercial port activity,
ships, ferries, residential and commercial.
They are also close to the Britomart
Transport Centre, Auckland's passenger transport hub.
The port
Focused on the eastern end of the waterfront, the port is integral to the
Auckland region's economic development and growth as the hub for international
exports and imports.
As the port consolidates its operations eastwards, the land made available will
be explored for alternative uses. Public access will be an important part of any
development.
