A transport, heritage and urban renewal project - November 1999 to July 2003
Britomart is the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by a local authority in New Zealand, at a total cost of $204 million. Britomart is a
transport, heritage and urban renewal project, located on 5.2 hectares of reclaimed land in Auckland's central business district.
Britomart is a transport centre linking train, bus and ferry services and is an important component in developing Auckland's passenger transport network.
Britomart is also an urban renewal project that preserves adjoining heritage buildings and creates a low-level heritage precinct with new public spaces.
The Auckland public set design guidelines, and through an international design competition the best solution for the site was determined.
Auckland City Council would like to thank the thousands of people who participated in the consultation process and acknowledge the collective financial
contributions of Infrastructure Auckland (disestablished July 2004), Transfund New Zealand,
Auckland Regional Council and Land Information New Zealand.
