LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to the 4th edition of Scenezine, the Britomart Magazine. In this issue we’re very excited to introduce you to the new members of the Britomart community: A&M, Racket, Nood, Living & Giving, The Barrow and Westpac. I’m sure by now a lot of you will have tracked them down and parted with some cash in an effort to make them feel welcome. Be sure to let them know you’re a local as all our retailers love to know who their customers are and you can offer valuable feedback. It was with great pleasure and pride that we officially opened our first new building, Westpac on Takutai Square, and Roukai Lane in March with a powhiri and celebration in the lane. The building and lane are a credit to all those involved in the project. We look forward to opening our second new building in 2011. We have an exciting art installation and event calendar this year, which kicks off with Street Ball for the kids on April 19th. This year we’re also adding in a Street Ball competition for Britomart tenants on April 21st. The competitiveness between tenants was evident in our previous boxing and netball comps so we expect this to be just as fierce. See page 11 for more detail. Just in the last few days we’ve confirmed we’ll be hosting the interactive art project Auto Garage, commissioned by the Britomart Arts Foundation. The German-based artist, Ines Tartler, will be in NZ for the duration of the project from May 5th-16th. Then in complete contrast, look out for the Red Bull City Scramble motorbike event at the end of May. We hope you enjoy this edition and don’t hesitate to drop us a line if you’d like any more information on anything covered in the magazine: info@britomart.org.

LUNCH AT
FEELING A BIT PECKISH?
SMITH Smith make awesome high tea
w
and tasty mini muffins. And scones. And they come in those old school English tea cups with flowers on them so when you drink your tea you find that your pinkie just naturally raises itself. Scenezine recommends the toasties followed by a refreshing Cinnamon Rose (see page 44).
NORTHERN STEAMSHIP CO. BREW BAR Known for its beer and random
upside down lights, the Steamship can also whip up a fancy feast at a moment’s notice to help you conquer your case of the munchies. Scenezine recommends the open sandwich.
A&M One of the newest additions to
Britomart, Agents & Merchants boasts an insanely long wine list (we are talking over 200 varieties to try), comfy outdoor seating and a decor that makes you want to tip your hat, and start speaking with a French accent. Scenezine recommends the serrano ham & manchego salad. C’est si bon.
SANTOS Great coffee.
I think that sums it up. But seeing as this is about lunch we should probably mention that they make that too. And they make it well. Scenezine recommends the vegetarian panini. (This sparked an internal debate over which panini was the best, so you should try them all just to be safe)
BIKE CENTRAL Not just a pretty pair of pedals,
Bike Central make a mean coffee, have comfy couches, & tasty treats aplenty. Plus they do know a thing or two about bikes if you are that way inclined. Scenezine recommends the quichie thing. (It’s like a quiche, but better.)
CITY FARMERS’ MARKET Especially for Saturday lunchers, the Farmers’ Market makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Not only are you buying fresh & delicious food, you are also helping support local growers. Aww. Scenezine recommends taste testing everything!
THE BARROW Perfect for those low on time and
empty of stomach, The Barrow make ready to grab salads, sandwiches and wraps. But if you do have some lingering time, tables are available and ready for your dining pleasure. Scenezine recommends the salad of the day, because they are all that good.

BRITOMART EVENT CALENDAR * 19th April BRITOMART STREET BALL * 21st April BRITOMART STREET BALL – BRITOMART TENANTS * 5th-16th May AUTO GARAGE * 31st May REDBULL CITY SCRAMBLE
City Scramble takes the hugely popular sport of off-road enduro riding to a unique urban setting in downtown Auckland, bringing a sport which previously distanced the spectator with remote rural locations to an intense crowd-packed inner city area. New Zealand’s star of enduro, Chris Birch, has conceptualised this event as a sponsored athlete project with Red Bull. The course will feature elements that have never been seen before, plus all the obstacles like logs, rocks and water that make endurocross such an intense sport. City Scramble will be tight aggressive racing that will let the best enduro riders in New Zealand and the rest of the world show off their skills. Sunday 31st May at Britomart.
INES TARTLER AUTO GARAGE The Britomart Arts Foundation has commissioned German artist Ines Tartler to develop a new art installation called Auto Garage. The project will be presented in the car parks at Britomart. The art work will have a unique public participation aspect to it in which car park patrons will be offered the opportunity to ‘host’ the art works on their cars. INES TARTLER Ines Tartler is an outstanding German installation artist and public art practitioner based in Berlin. Ines has exhibited extensively throughout Europe since 1998. Her site-specific projects and installations have occupied public spaces, galleries and museums in Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Great Britain, Belgium and Japan.
WHAT IS AUTO GARAGE? Auto Garage 2009 marks Tartler’s debut in New Zealand and will be the artist’s first project in the southern hemisphere. For the Auckland presentation of Auto Garage 2009, Tartler has been invited to present three golden car covers in the Britomart car park. Patrons of the car park will be invited by a pair of attendants to ‘host’ one of the car covers on their own car while it is parked, and thereby become part of the Auto Garage concept and project. Each person’s participation will be documented and each will receive a memento of their involvement, including a photograph of them with their car and with Auto Garage installed on their car. Public interaction will begin with an audition call for the Auto Garage attendants. 5th-16th May at Britomart.

THIS IS A PAGE ABOUT ART. AND THIS IS THE TITLE OF THAT PAGE ABOUT ART. ART AT BRITOMART. YOU CAN READ IT AND LEARN MORE. LEARN MORE ABOUT ART, LIFE AND THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE. BY LOOKING AT WORKS OF ART WE SEE OURSELVES REFLECTED IN THE ART. MUCH LIKE A MIRROR. BUT FLASHER. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT IT TAKES AN OPENED AND TRAINED EYE TO RECOGNISE ART, AND WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD ART. HERE AT BRITOMART WE MAKE THAT EASY FOR YOU. WE ONLY HAVE GOOD ART.ENJOY.
In 1840, there was sea water at Britomart. Waka (canoes) were launched from tidal mudflats, and a prominent headland stretched out into the harbour near this spot. There was a Maori pa (fort) on the headland. A colonial military fort was then built, which later became an orphanage, before being torn down as the headland itself was demolished to fill in the bay. Auckland’s first colonial settlers arrived here, lifting their belongings and their skirts or coats above the mud. From this shore they surveyed their new home, and planned new lives and a new city. The 40 years that followed their arrival was a period of massive cultural and environmental change. We invited four emerging artists to find something that was of interest to them in the stories of Britomart’s early history, and asked them each to make a new artwork. The four paintings are the first in a series of exhibitions by emerging artists that will be installed in an outdoor exhibition at Britomart. The exhibition title, Bare Rock and Backbones, refers to the sheer determination of the people of this place in forging the fledgling city from rock and mud. Bare Rock and Backbones was commissioned by Cooper and Company and developed by Rob Garrett Contemporary Fine Art Ltd. Cooper and Company and Rob Garrett Contemporary Fine Art Ltd would like to thank the following sponsors for making this exhibition possible: Ernst & Young Hawkins Construction Resene The exhibition is outdoors and can be viewed in Takutai Square, corner of Gore & Galway Streets, Britomart.

THIS IS ANOTHER PAGE ABOUT ART. WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY THIS ONE TOO.
While the Bare Rock and Backbones art exhibition is on, Stanbeth Gallery in Britomart is showing more works from the artists. First up is Aleksandra Petrovic. Between 1865 and 1867, the former fort at Britomart was home to the city’s orphans – not much else is known about this period. Aleksandra Petrovic likes to focus on ‘small stories’ about people who would otherwise be forgotten. She is interested in how history is rewritten in its retelling and puts several scenes together in her work so the viewer can make stories from them. Her figures are engaged in activities with items used in the documentation of history, such as plans, maps and diaries. Have a wander past the gallery on Customs Street East to check out more of Aleksandra’s work.
STREET
FASHION
Sort of like one of those internet blogs with all the hip folks in sweet threads being snapped on the street — except we only had one model. But she is wearing sweet threads, so it doesn’t really matter that much.
All the clothes are from Britomart shops, the modelling was done by super star Laura and the photos were taken by Scenezine in Britomart.

WHAT’S GOING ON DOWN THERE IN THE EAST END? THE BUILDING FORMERLY KNOWN AS EAST Construction on the big building east of Takutai Square continues apace, with the structure of the bottom four floors now complete. When it’s finished, the East Complex will be 12 storeys tall and be made up of two ‘towers’ bridged at the top by three floors of offices. Now that the two anchor tenants, Ernst & Young and Westpac, are confirmed, the two towers will be known as Westpac on Takutai Square (the south tower) and the Ernst & Young Building (the north tower). The three-level bridge across the top will have its own entrance on Britomart Place and be called… Britomart Place. THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME Work on the East Complex is well on schedule and the structure is expected to reach its full height by the end of winter 09. Once this structural frame is in place it will give anyone wandering around the precinct a good idea of the building’s finished size and shape. The building is being designed to achieve five green stars design rating in the New Zealand Green Building Council rating system, which will make it one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in New Zealand.
The whole complex will be complete and due for handover to its new tenants in April 2011. THE ‘BACKBONE’ OF BRITOMART Running east-west between the two towers of the east building complex will be walking street Te Ara Tahuhu. It will be open 24 hours, provide access to the train station below and will be lined with shops where it runs through the buildings at the east and centre of Britomart. Te Ara Tahuhu will run through the whole precinct, from the front door of the CPO on Queen Street right through to Britomart Place. Its name comes from the Maori word for ‘ridgepole’, the backbone of the traditional meeting house. WESTPAC ON TAKUTAI SQUARE Westpac Charter House, on the corner of Customs Street East and Britomart Place, is now complete, with Westpac’s call centre and other admin staff all settled in. This new development incorporates the now fully restored heritage Charter House building. Westpac Charter House and the south tower of the East Complex next door, due for completion in 2011, will together be known as Westpac on Takutai Square. The two Westpac buildings will be connected by link bridges at Levels 1, 3 and 6 and between them they’ll house Westpac’s New Zealand
head office and main call centre. WHO’S DOING WHAT? The contractor responsible for building the East Complex is Hawkins Construction. The complex was designed by Australian architects Johnson Pilton Walker (JPW) in association with Auckland-based firm Peddle Thorp & Aitken, the same partnership responsible for the Westpac Charter House project. Auckland architects Jasmax are responsible for the interior design of the two Westpac buildings, while Gordon Moller of
with some design concepts, to help focus discussion about what the hotel might look like. We’ll present our revised proposal later in the year and hope to have the plan change finalised by the end of 2009. Stay posted here and at www.britomart.org. THE BIG PICTURE So far, restoration of six of the 18 heritage buildings at Britomart is now complete: CPO, Northern Steamship, Levy, Maritime, Union Fish and Charter House. All six have been refurbished inside and out and are fully tenanted, with lots of interesting people now calling them home. The completion of the new Westpac Charter House (which incorporates the refurbished Charter House) makes it the first of the seven new buildings to be completed throughout the precinct. The major development at the centre of the precinct (code name: Central Building), is now in the planning phase. We’re also working towards starting on the fully consented development on the old Oriental Markets site on Quay Street, planned for later this year. Concepts and plans continue to be developed for the rest of the precinct… you’ll read about them here first.
Moller Architects will design the fitout of the Ernst & Young Building. Hawkins Construction carried out the fitout of Westpac Charter House and will also undertake the fitout of the new Westpac and Ernst & Young buildings.
THE BIGGER PICTURE By 2015, this six-hectare rectangle that we know and love as Britomart will be a buzzing mix of apartments, offices, shops, galleries, cafes, bars, restaurants, hotels and cinemas. When the last of our historical buildings are refurbished it will be the largest heritage restoration project ever completed in New Zealand.
DON’T WORRY, IT’LL BE BACK! You might have noticed that Takutai Square is a bit smaller than usual these days. It’s being borrowed by Hawkins Construction for site works and construction access while they’re working on the building behind it.
All these beautiful old buildings will sit side by side with several larger-scale modern ones. Several thousand people will live and work here and thousands more will visit every week. They’ll come from near and far for our humming nightlife, our designer shopping, our funky boutiques and cafes, our lanes, squares, fountains, sculptures, murals, street theatre...
Once the building is complete, the square will be returned to its former glory and you’ll be turning cartwheels through there again in no time.
It won’t happen overnight but it is happening. And YOU are the first to know about it.
BRITOMART HOTEL After our plan change notification last year and two rounds of public submissions, we’re now working through the plan change process relating to our proposed five-star hotel on Quay Street. We had lots of excellent feedback, comments and ideas from the public and we’re taking these on board as we rework our proposal for the Council. One of the most important things will be making sure we have a really stunning design for this very special waterfront site. We’re working closely with the Council’s Urban Design Panel and will be briefing a number of designers to come up
BRITOMART PEOPLE… COUNT ’EM! *1800 people work at Britomart at present *650 people work out of Westpac Charter House *When Ernst & Young and Westpac head office staff move into their new buildings in 2011, there will be more than 2500 people working here at Britomart

INTRODUCING
COOPER AND
COMPANY
NAME: VAL EDMONDES-ROWE POSITION: ACCOUNTS ASSISTANT DESCRIBE TWO THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR JOB. It’s fantastic working for a company that transforms the city and makes
a difference, is progressive, with a creative atmosphere that inspires and lots of high energy. The people I work with are so upbeat, positive, interested and involved with each other. It’s great. And such a cool office. My interest in history, real estate and crunching numbers – all indulged in the job.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE FUTURE? Yes, I would like to know all the good stuff in store for me. Next
weekend’s winning lotto numbers will do just fine… no, I think some things in life are better lived when they come. There is a saying I like: “Today is the tomorrow that you were worried about yesterday”.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT NZ? Such a beautiful country, so friendly and laid back. (Val moved here from Bulgaria in 1990 - ED)
ONE OF THE COOLEST PEOPLE I KNOW IS: Apart from family, some years ago I met a lady called Michelle Dellabarca
and to this day I have a total admiration for a person who is full of energy, enjoys every day, never judges and always has time to help anybody and all while she lives her life true to herself. I hope she remains my friend for forever.
THREE THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT THE BOLDEST MOVE I EVER MADE: BRITOMART? Leaving everything that was safe and familiar and moving to a country What is there not to like? It’s in a great location with heritage celebration. It’s uplifting, edgy, with friendly locals, a compact town hub, a place where I can experience the sights of history, and the tastes and activities of chic urban life. It really feels like a community, not just a collection of businesses. It is the place where I work and spend my days. Lovely coffee all around. It must be said – great shopping. The Barrow – I feel like the entertainer of the year - and Debut, Urban Loft – all so good. There are vibrant, exciting and interesting places to meet friends – the new lane – oh the cobblestones! It’s almost European. “A little Italy”, and it has that cosmopolitan feel to it. Smith. – oh so cool, those special chairs of theirs. The Northern Steamship – so full of life. Sometimes when I’m working late I get to see all the fun right from my office.
DO YOU COLLECT ANYTHING? Not really a collector, but I love music from way back when, so I am always on the look out for it.
where the only words I knew were yes, no and thank you. It all turned out good, so no regrets.
WHAT DOES THE WORD SOUL BRING TO MIND? A piece of music, a place, a picture, a bar of delicious chocolate. The things that awake something within, the things that make you connect with others. And the big fire place at Roukai Lane.
TOP FIVE: THINGS VAL WON’T DO Listen to John Mayer’s music.
Wear t-shirts representing beers. Wear calculator watches. Anything to do with vampires – movies or books. Finish reading a book after finding out it has very poor language and an appalling story.
LADIES&
GENTLEMEN

still see on the buildings and the awesome events (insert Britomart Street Ball plug here).
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR TONIGHT? Kings of Leon at Vector. DO YOU COLLECT ANYTHING? Records and vintage postcards. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE FUTURE? Nothing, I like a bit of mystery. Plus I’ve seen Back To the Future and it’s never a good idea to know too much about your destiny.
WHAT ARE YOU AN EXPERT AT? Polular music of the 1960s. WHAT CAN’T YOU LIVE WITHOUT? My family and friends, the ocean and my iPod.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT NZ? Our beaches and the fact that if I stand in the middle of my street I have an “ocean view”.
ONE OF THE COOLEST PEOPLE I KNOW IS: My cousin Mira. She rocks the party. THE BOLDEST MOVE I EVER MADE: When I was twelve I rang up a famous bass player and asked for lessons. He said no.
WHAT DOES THE WORD SOUL BRING TO MIND? The Funk Brothers – they were the session musicians for Motown Records. Amazing musicians.
TOP FIVE: THINGS YOU SHOULD BE OWNING 1. A Polaroid camera. 2. Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies. 3. Converse Chucks (high tops). 4. A poster print by Jason Munn. 5. Fairy lights.

RANDOMBITS We’ve got some black boards. People have been using them. We like that. Plus we have been learning lots - like the fact that Matt is Emo, & red hair is cool. But the guy on the left really does deserve our praise (sorry Ben & Pip).

RANDOMBITS Another roadie for the Britomart Recycle Bin. This time it’s been pounding the streets of London. Lucky for some. Thanks Fabric Shelter Systems for the pic!
If you are going to do something bad, say like ruining someone’s artwork for instance, then you might as well make it funny. That way you have a better chance of being forgiven. We forgive you art ruiner.

FILMS WITHOUT FRONTIERS
f
OLD SOFRANA HOUSE TENANT BORDERLESS PRODUCTIONS IS ON A MISSION TO CHANGE THE WORLD – AND ITS AWARENESS AND FUNDRAISING FILMS AND CAMPAIGNS ARE ALREADY MAKING A DIFFERENCE AROUND THE GLOBE. Borderless Productions has been in business in New Zealand for just over three years. Founded by filmmaker-entrepreneurs Dean Easterbrook and Qiujing Wong, Borderless works with a range of NGOs, corporations, private investors and non-profit organisations in New Zealand and internationally to create ideas and films for social change.
DRIVING GLOBAL AWARENESS AND POSITIVE CHANGE Driven by its vision of making a positive difference to people’s lives, Borderless creates its films as part of wider awareness and behaviour change campaigns. The most recently completed Borderless project, which premiered in the last DOCNZ international documentary festival, is called A Grandmother’s Tribe. The film was brought to market with a campaign to raise awareness and funds for grandmothers raising their orphaned grandchildren in Kenya, Africa. To date the model has raised more than CA$100,000 for the grandmothers.
b
In 2009 Borderless will release its next film and campaign, The Jade Bell Story. This film tackles the issue of drug abuse among teenagers, primarily in North America. Canadian Jade Bell overdosed more than 10 years ago on a lethal concoction of cocaine and heroin. Today, immobile, blind and mute, Jade has made it his life mission to reach hundreds of thousands of kids in schools and detention centres. As well as following his personal crusade against drug abuse, the film
investigates the complexities of a character who destroyed almost everything going for him in his life. Next on the Borderless slate is a film called On My Own Two Feet, a story about microfinance as a global solution to extreme poverty. This film will be shot in the latter part of 2009.
NOT YOUR EVERYDAY FILM PRODUCTION COMPANY Apart from its social mission, the company has some significant other differences from most New Zealand film companies. Despite its global interests, Borderless retains a uniquely New Zealand base, which offers it a significant point of difference on the international stage. As a result, many of the funding models for its films are private and alternative to the mainstream New Zealand funding vehicles like New Zealand on Air or local broadcast licence fees. Borderless also retains control of its intellectual property, creating, producing and distributing its own content through channels including theatres, television stations, websites and DVD. The scope of its recently completed and planned projects is a powerful indication of where this New Zealand business is going: global. With a significant virtual presence in many foreign markets already, Borderless expects to be operating consistently on all continents within five years.
Valentine’s Day is all about love. And Britomart loves sharing the love. So we did. Letters filled with words of love were dropped around Britomart for unsuspecting Aucklanders to pick up just before the big day. Hopefully it made them feel a little bit special. Because we think they deserved it. x ... but there is nothing sadder than unrequited love. Luckily for us the lovely Jan Stewart found one of our letters and wrote us a love note in return.
“My Funny Valentine…. When you reach d’un certain age your anticipation of the post on the morning of 14th February diminishes to a great degree. Also, regrettably, I feel that our modern age somewhat denigrates the whole concept of “romance” – a sadness really – a generous dollop of romance is good for the soul! I recall the great words said by Bogart (NO, not from “Casablanca” as it happens) from “In a Lonely Place”
“I was born when you kissed me, I died when you left me, I lived a few days while you loved me.”
I find it difficult to visualise any of our “modern” young actors dealing with that dialogue! Maybe that is just me being old and a great fan of old movies! Having no thoughts of “special” mail on the 14th, imagine my surprise when settling into a comfortable chair in a very pleasant bar (smith) in Britomart I found an envelope on which was written “Be mine” in large red friendly letters and the words “Happy Valentine’s Day” where a stamp might have been. Thinking someone had left it behind I offered the envelope to the young lady approaching with my drink – to my surprise – she told me “oh no, it is for you Mrs. Stewart”. Seemingly my earlier remarks about the lack of romanticism may be unfair – for someone had come up with the charming idea of dropping some envelopes in certain establishments to try and ensure that, at least some people received a touch of romance on the celebration of St. Valentine. To my delight on opening the envelope I found written “a note for my valentine” and the entire lyric of “Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather”, (I was fortunate to live in Spain for several years when I was younger) one of my many favourite songs written by the great Bob Dylan.
“oh I’m sailing away my own true love, I’m sailing away in the morning Is there something I can send you from across the sea From the place that I’ll be landing”…
How appropriate that someone of my age (about the same as Dylan!) should find that particular envelope – since then it, and the written page have looked down from my pin board – reminding me that you are never too old to receive a Valentine!
“…so take heed take heed of the western wind take heed of the stormy weather and yes there’s something you can send back to me Spanish boots of Spanish leather”

HISTORY OF BRITOMART EPISODE TWO LAST ISSUE IT WAS ALL ABOUT BLOODY TRIBAL BATTLES, THE FOUNDING OF AUCKLAND AND THE BRITISH FORT RIGHT HERE ON THE HEADLAND AT BRITOMART. HANG ON, WHAT HEADLAND? HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED TO IT… The departure of the army and the removal of the colony’s capital to Wellington left Auckland’s economy depressed and many people struggled in the fledgling city. For a brief period late in the 1860s Fort Britomart housed the city’s orphans and abandoned children.
36 headland began. Point Britomart was reduced to a vast quantity of rock and rubble that, along with the city’s rubbish, was used to fill in the bays on either side. It was an enormous exercise in labour and horsepower that took until 1886 to complete. More than seven hectares of land was reclaimed, which was to be a valuable source of income for the local authorities and provide security for the financing of more port docks and facilities. No trace of the Point remains today.
BOOM AND BUST
But the discovery of gold at Thames, 80 kilometres south of Auckland, and increased borrowing for development in the provinces, saw Auckland’s fortunes begin to change once again. A proper port was needed to service the growing city.
In 1882 reclaimed land to the north of Customs Street East was ready to be leased. A crowd attended the auction, which was for 19 allotments on a 50-year lease. The mood was optimistic and all lots sold for sums far higher than expected.
From the time of Hobson’s arrival, the bay to the east of Point Britomart, known as Commercial Bay, was the main port of the new settlement. Surveyor-General Felton Mathew had long ago drawn up plans for the new city which included a large area of reclamation for industrial port facilities.
But much of the new land lay empty for the next few years. Booming in the 1870s, Auckland was to go bust by the mid-1880s. The collapse of the suburban and then the urban property market saw most of those buoyant bidders forced to sell their Britomart properties before the century was out. Some lost their fortunes; all were chastened by the long economic slump that followed.
These plans, which had gathered dust for nearly 30 years, were now called into service. Point Britomart would be demolished and three bays reclaimed along the harbour front: Freemans Bay, Commercial Bay and Mechanics Bay.
CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE
Britomart as we know it today, the block of land bordered by Queen, Customs and Quay Streets and Britomart Place, was underwater in 1870, part of the seabed in the middle of Commercial Bay. It was built literally from the ground up in the 1870s and 80s as part of Mathew’s ambitious scheme was realised. In 1871 Fort Britomart was demolished and the dynamiting of the
Despite the depression, a new railway station was built on reclaimed land at the centre of the Britomart quadrangle. Even a struggling city needs infrastructure for progress and some industries – merchandising, warehousing and the extractive industries of gold, kauri gum and timber – were continuing to flourish. Completed in 1885, the station at Britomart would be the heart of Auckland’s railway network for another 45 years.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Stay tuned for Episode Three: Auckland’s population explosion, the construction of our heritage buildings and Britomart as a teeming port, transport and communications hub.

FAST FORWARD 100 YEARS… HOW COOPER AND COMPANY CAME TO BE BRITOMART’S 21ST CENTURY RESCUER Britomart had a series of lucky escapes from proposed demolition in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Finally, after the New Zealand Historic Places Trust gave increased formal heritage protection to the historic Quay and Customs Street East areas, a new proposal was developed for a mixeduse community at Britomart that would also preserve its special heritage. The contract for the Britomart development went up for tender in 2002. After stiff competition, the contract was won by the Bluewater Consortium, which included Bluewater Management Company. Bluewater bought out its consortium partners in 2006 and in 2008 changed its name to Cooper and Company, after its New Zealand founder Peter Cooper. Cooper and Company has a contract with Auckland City Council for the long-term ownership and development of the Britomart precinct, including 150-year leases on the historic buildings and renewable 50-year leases on the new buildings. Work began on the resurrection of some of Britomart’s most derelict heritage buildings in 2004… and the rest, as they say, is history.

Below is one of our favourite recipes from much admired chef (and advocate of seasonal, local cooking) Annabel Langbein. You can find the berries and eggs at the market!
The season’s are changing, and with that comes a new collection of fantastic farmers, growers and makers to the City Farmers’ Market. Beautiful roses from Karaka will give your home colour and vibrancy as the summer sun disappears. We have a new stall of home-made chutneys, jams, pickles and relishes that are lovingly made in Mt Eden and will add some tasty zing to any bit. Bagel Love supplies delicious bagels with cream cheese spreads. Wanting a tasty kick to winter soups and stews? Add some full-bodied flavour with Nick Millers’ Garlic salts.
And finally, beautiful fresh (while they last!) and frozen blueberries from Papakura. With their antioxidants and vitamins, they’re sure to keep you healthy and happy in the approaching winter months. There’s still plenty of opportunity to enjoy the tail end of summer’s harvest at the market, with gorgeous salad bags, herbs, veges and bread. Seasonal veges such as capsicum and aubergine, zucchini are in and figs and feijoas will soon make an appearance. Couple these with the regular market staples like cheeses, delectable pastries and chocolates, hand-made bread, olive oils, organic meats... and you have a delicious assortment of beautiful meals and treats — all from Auckland’s own back yard.

FOR
CROWN AT
DOWNTOWN
UPDATE
Crown for Downtown at Britomart was a boxing event held at the Britomart Pavilion on 2nd August 2007 (you can check it out online at www.britomart.org in our past events section). So we had a successful event. Everyone had fun and Luke ‘The Shore Thing’ (see interview on page 41) was crowned King of Downtown. However we feel that he needs to be contested. It’s time for a change of monarchy. That’s right. We are officially starting a rumour that Crown for Downtown will be back in ‘09. You heard it here first (but don’t quote us, it’s still a secret). One of the charities supported
by Crown for Downtown was the Ronald McDonald House Auckland. Britomart tenants raised $8,868 to go towards building their gym. We are happy to report it’s being used daily and a boxing bag has just been added! Good stuff. If you feel like spreading the warm fuzzies a bit more, companies can volunteer to make dinner for the families staying at the house. This involves 8-10 people meeting at the House around 3.30-4.30pm to prepare, cook and serve a meal. Cooper and Company volunteered last year and loved every minute. If you are keen, you can contact the
house’s volunteer manager Jess Neilsen at jessamy@rmh.co.nz or phone 303 1365 to find out when the next intake is.

BREWJOLAIS
Following a triumphant appearance last year, the seasonal madness that is Brewjolais makes its reappearance in 2009. Most brewers would say they are out of their minds, but at Mac’s they’re quite prepared to get out of bed very early in the morning, drive out to pick the season’s first cascade hops (from a family farm in Motueka), and stuff them green and fresh into a waiting vat of pale ale in the hope that something mind-blowing will come out. Good on them. They are expecting the result to be a hop-driven monster that generates more grins than there are faces to stick them on. Make the most of the new Mac’s Brewjolais. When it finally runs out, 12 months will seem like an awfully long time to wait for the next batch.
jp
Make sure you give Brewjolais a taste test. Only at the Northern Steamship Co. Brew Bar.
