Expression of outstanding design that complements the city

A Civic Precinct that celebrates our community through iconic architecture and high quality, well connected public spaces. A place where our cities culture, history, and aspirations are interpreted and reflected in the architecture, arrangement and materiality of the buildings, and the design of the urban realm.

PRINCIPLES:

• Buildings and spaces that stand the tests of time and evoke civic pride. • Opportunity to create iconic buildings that become a landmark and a point of discussion for the community and visitors. • Design that challenges and potentially contrasts the existing urban framework/expressions. • Design excellence - positive architectural offerings that signify the importance of this Precinct to the city. • Incorporation of Te Aranga Design Principles.
