It will carry cyclists, pedestrians and passenger transport - including the potential for light rail.

To maintain existing boat access it must also open and close as quickly and quietly as possible for boats accessing the inner Viaduct Harbour.

Development with vision - council's property role

• Overview
• Statement of proposal

Because of the council's concerns that an increasing amount of development in the city is not achieving this vision, in May 2004 it consulted on and subsequently adopted a new policy called Development with Vision.

Read the submissions

Last year, the public gave us their feedback.

Independent commissioners heard concerns and interests of the submitters at a public hearing. They will now consider all the submissions and report their recommendations to the council.

This change will enable:

• the area to be developed into parks, plazas, boulevards, boardwalks, shops, cafes, offices and apartments
• the creation of new spaces and facilities for events, festivals and markets
• the fishing and marine industries to retain a home in part of the area

These district plan changes correspond with the Auckland Regional Council's coastal plan change for the harbour area surrounding Wynyard Quarter.

• Draft masterplan
• Draft masterplan document and images

This masterplan is a creative overview. It gives definition to the Auckland Waterfront Vision 2040 and sets out design priorities and recommendations to guide the future development of the CBD waterfront.
