St Mary’s Bay Open Space Project aimed to link Aukland Harbour Bridge Pathway from the west to Waynyard Quarter and then Queens Wharf and Tamaki Drive.

Road Improvements on Westhaven Drive

Goal is to increase the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. Via a waterfront pedestrian walkway and cyclingway connecting to the proposed Harbour Bridge cycleway.

6

Final Model 1

By simultaniously improving both sectors of the area, they work together to encourage more people to visit the area.

As the St Marys Bay was originally located in an difficult to reach location, with only a single entrance and exit point, and next to a busy road. Simply developing it by itself would not produce any benificial results. Therefore, additionally developing the walkway allows the area to have a barrier between the main road and the greenery as well as providing a secondary entrance and exit point, encouraging more foot traffic through the area. Resulting in a less abandoned and lively area for visitors to relax.

As the footbridge remains snug to the main road, a portion overhangs the waterway. An additional feature to the walkway/cycleway which will entice more users and visitors to interact with it, and water. Fulfilling the 2012 Waterfront Plan goals.

Waterfront Transit A modern, low impact, frequent, high volume transit service in the longer term, which supports the regional passenger transport network. A first phase will be an extnesions of the tram service over the wWynard Crossing to the Voyager Museum, largely as a visitor attraction. It will be future-proffed for modern light rail vehicles, should this be the selected mode.

Greening of Waitemata Plaza Goal is to increase the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. Via a waterfront pedestrian walkway and cyclingway connecting to the proposed Harbour Bridge cycleway.

10

Final Model 2

As this location is directly on the ‘spine’ of the waterfront (on the quay street axis), a higher emphsis is placed on increasing and maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

Through the lidar model, we were able to gain a better understanding of the views which the Waterfrony transit will acheive. A higher emphsis was placed on the greening of Waitemata Plaza.

As its proximity to the transit allows visitors to view a patch of greenery, most likely a much needed break from the sea of blues, whites and greys usually surrounding the docks. The greening of Waitemata Plaza is also an attraction to draw pedestrains out towards the shore. Again, giving the docks a more lively, comfortable and less industrial feel.

All the features of the two devleopements have have allowed this space to successfully emulate all five of the catergories listed in the 2012 Waterfron Plan. Therefore, actively helping to enhance the Aukland Waterfront.
