City Building Again – and by that I mean ALL of the City (well region) Recently I had asked the following question in my “A Question About City Building” … Continue reading Two Questions Now to be asked of Council
I suppose this “The Southern Initiative Back in the Media – Again” and the lack of progress reports amongst other things of recent from Council might have spurred on what is in the presser below.
From Auckland Council
Auckland Council to publish overview of city centre and waterfront developments
Auckland Council today confirmed that it will publish an overview of key city centre and waterfront developments, to give the public and decision-makers a clear picture of the programme of work under-way to transform Auckland’s CBD.
Councillors received an update today on planning and project implementation for the city centre and waterfront.
Deputy Mayor and Development Committee Chair Penny Hulse said: “As part of delivery of the Auckland Plan, there is significant work under-way to transform Auckland’s city centre and waterfront. This includes work to improve our public spaces, enhance pedestrian access and transform the retail experience.
“Auckland Council is guiding the overall work programme through the Auckland Development Committee. Over the past six months in particular, we have worked closely with the agencies to bring together a clear overview and guide progress as we move into the delivery phase.
“As we move through this work we will be seeking input from Aucklanders on any key decisions or developments.”
Penny Hulse also confirmed that the future vision for Queens Wharf will include public consultation. “The Wharf is jointly owned by the Government and Waterfront Auckland and will remain in public ownership.”
The overview of projects will be published in August.
Something I have called on before with projects especially around large scale like The Southern Initiative.
Now to get the next phase going with other “City Building Plans and Developments” – once they have been drawn up firs 😉
