Eden Park precinct upgrade

Aerial photo of Eden Park Stadium and the surrounding streets. We are funding a range of transport and infrastructure improvement projects in the streets surrounding Eden Park.

Sandringham Road improvements (enhancing pedestrian access from Kingsland rail station)
Key walking routes (including creation of a direct pedestrian link between Eden Park and New North Road)
Kingsland town centre upgrade
Morningside streetscapes upgrade
Valley Road shopping centre upgrade
Dominion Road transport and streetscapes upgrade
Residents' parking scheme improvements

The projects will provide a significant legacy for our residents, as well as supporting the successful delivery of Rugby World Cup 2011.

We want to ensure the revamped stadium is a "better neighbour" for nearby residents and that it is sensitive to, and appropriate for, its neighbourhood.

Long-term benefits for residents include:

improvement in vehicle flow around Eden Park, and between the stadium and the central city
significantly improved passenger transport connections in the precinct, easing parking requirements for the area
enhancements to the key urban centres in the precinct
improved infrastructure, including lighting and safety
creation of key walking routes between Eden Park and the CBD, reducing both the amount of vehicle traffic and parking requirements for the area
improved traffic management during all events and matches held at the stadium in the lead-up to RWC 2011 and beyond.

A $22 million package for projects in the Eden Park precinct was approved as part of our 2008/2009 annual plan. The Kingsland town centre and Valley Road shopping centre upgrades as well as the other streetscape projects are funded separately from this $22 million package.
