3D Mock Ups of Potential Maximum Development
Apologies for not getting this particular post up earlier as I have been busy focusing on my new company of recent.
Auckland Council via Shape Auckland have released 19 You Tube videos showing potential growth in 19 of our Metropolitan and Town Centres per the draft Unitary Plan. Unfortunately You Tube and WordPress don’t like embedding each other which somewhat makes it a pain so it has to be the links.
3D VIDEO MODELS OF POSSIBLE GROWTH ACROSS AUCKLAND
- Posted on 16th April 2013
Auckland Council has developed a 3D model of Auckland to help develop the draft Auckland Unitary Plan.
This included modelling possible growth in 19 metropolitan and town centres around Auckland.
While largely an internal tool to help inform planning decisions, the resulting videos give a useful indication of how centres might grow over 10, 20 and 30+ years.
The model has this week come runner-up at the ALGIM GIS Project of the Year Award (Note: the winner was also from Auckland Council, its Capacity for Growth Study).
It’s important to remember that these are indicative only: clearly actual growth is down to what landowners decide to build and will of course be subject to design assessments. The videos demonstrate the protection of heritage buildings and show that high-rise buildings (9 or more storeys) will be restricted to metropolitan centres.
The videos can be viewed on youtube.com/aklcouncil and the 19 centres are:
| Albany | Botany | Browns Bay | Glen Eden | Henderson |
| Highbury | Manukau | Manurewa | New Lynn | Newmarket |
| Otahuhu | Papakura | Point Chevalier | Pukekohe | Remuera |
| Sylvia Park | Takapuna | Three Kings | Warkworth |
You should be able click each of the individual centres above and see the video.
Of course as a reminder this shows the maximum development that could occur if economic conditions are right. Note the English carefully I have used as it is rather specific.
