Description:
This project represents a complex public realm transformation of an historic downtown waterfront street, which included the transformation of three city blocks from a traffic congested 6x lane through-route – a severing of the city to its waterfront, to a ‘place’ for people and the environment whilst optimising walking & cycling, traffic, servicing and public transport.
The project seeks to create a new, generous and welcoming destination along the City Centre waterfront edge that is recognisably Tāmaki Makaurau in form and function. The aim of the project is to create a people-focused space which strengthen the connection between Te Waitematā and the City Centre’s built form.
Quay Street (Re)Connects Wynyard Quarter to Tāmaki Drive (east-west) and city to sea (north-south). Showcasing native vegetation. Exceeds ecological/stormwater treatment standards. Demonstrates best practice with site-specific innovation. Reinforcing the Mauri ‘life force’ of the waterfront.
