From tanks to treasure - changing the ground rules for Wynyard Quarter
Posted Sat 14 Jul 2007
To enable the redevelopment of Wynyard Quarter from a bulk-liquid storage and industrial area into a world-class waterfront precinct, Auckland City Council and Auckland Regional Council have lodged proposed changes to the district and regional coastal plans for the area for public submissions.
The two plan changes will help to achieve the things people said they wanted for this part of the city including:
• More public open space
• Better access to the water's edge
• A home for the marine and fishing industries on the waterfront
• Space for events
• Better transport links to the area.
People will have the opportunity to make submissions on the two plan changes until 20 August.
