Action Plan
Auckland City Council adopted the Aotea Quarter plan in 2005. An action plan was developed to ensure the vision for Aotea Quarter as the city’s civic core and cultural heart, and arts and entertainment hub: a vibrant centre for people where senses are indulged, creativilty expressed, events enjoyed and civic life participated in.
Five years into the plan and following review of the achievements to date the council’s Arts, Culture and Recreation Committee approved the action plan for the next five years.
A placemaking approach to developing and managing the area over the next five years is the key driver of the action plan. This has been informed by research and stakeholder engagement and is based on international best practice of the management of cultural precincts.

Placemaking aims to create active, vibrant public places by uniting the needs of community, business and the environment, by weaving together community engagement, urban design, local economic development, and cultural value.
A place-based approach to development will ensure the quarter becomes a lively and vibrant place, with scheduled events and activities, improved connections, access, safety and transport, and by supporting existing and developing new cultural destinations and venues.
