Kelly’s Bay Retention Dam : With 1 million people arriving by 2050, approx. 3,000 people will fit into Kelly Bay Estate and they will need water. As well as mitigating run-off, I propose a multi-purpose space accomodating retention ponds, community maintained orchard and recreational pathway.

Because this site is a greenfield development opportunity, eco-concious materials are used. For hard paved areas, exposed aggregate concretes are used which gives long lasting and durable usability, as well as recycling old aggregate sourced from old building sites creating something new with the old. The large angled walls will be clad in locally harvested stone. This stone will be a heat sink for the orchard above and provide a warm micro-climate for not only the fruit trees in this area but makes the area pleasant for public users all year.

This space which is connected to the main centre by foot path the heavy approach to pedestrian connectivity for this development.
Hard materials will be paired with a selection of hardy flora species to create a lush environment : Cordyline Australis, Carex spp., Phormium spp., Sophora spp., Bolboschoenus spp., Apodasamia similis.

Green r oof species
Low Mountain Species
Meadowland Species
Plant selection for this area is a range of species which translate to the change in zone as you move through the site and the change in levels represent the changes in topography and diversity represented in the vegetative areas surrounding the port development. Green roof species and quantities are representative of the Port Nikau Green Roof guidlines in the development plan.

Transport Analysis : Tamaki Drive / Eastern bays
Proposed Tamaki Boardwalk Proposed widening to the sidewalk along Tamaki drive for a more useable cyclist/pedestrian route.
Existing ‘heavy rail’ line
existing ‘heavy rail’ connections north to britomart or south towards sylvia park
Future ‘light rail’ corridor
council proposed ‘light rail’ route (tram) along tamaki drive terminating at st heliers. Part of the longer term connectivity plan
Existing bus route
indicates the intricate network of bus routes through the eastern bays
Existing roads; SH, AM, M
okahu bay
okahu bay
indicates the framework of the eastern bays intricate roading network and its connectivity of state highways (SH), arterial main roads (AM) and minor roads (M).
Public spaces/ ammenities
Vehicular intersections
points where major roads and frequently used minor roads intersect with tamaki drive. these points pose the most risk of trafic congestion due to heavy use and also areas of higher crash risks.
Marine ammenties
includes frequently used or permanent moorings and marinas (inlcudes major boat ramps as well).
Rail stations/ interchange
existing railway stations along the ‘heavy rail’ line.
okahu bay
these areas pose potential congestion to road networks due to parking or lack thereof. Considers attractions such as beaches, playgrounds, shops and cafes.
