Morningsides inner-city fringe location suits itself to intensification.
nlike other areas in Auckland in similar locations, Morningside doesot have a prestigious character. Furthermore the area contains a high
roportion of non-residential uses. This gives Morningside a competi-
ve advantage for redevelopment and a unique character and identity.
Morningside is
well connected
to other areas of
Auckland withgood public trans-
port and road in-
frastructure. An
aray of community
services and infra-
structure is locat-
ed within 800m or
a 10 minute walk.
The centre is well lo-
cated at the intersec-
tion of the two most
prominent roads and
close to the train
station. This historic
building marks the
historical centre.
Quality character buildings are
located throughout the site,
showcasing the areas industrial
heritage.
Mature street trees are locat-
ed throughout the site, pro-
viding a soft green contrast to
the built environment.
Mount Albert Primary School and
Morningside Kindergarten provide
educational services and a grass
field that can be used after school
hours and on weekends.
The level train
crossing provides
gritty visuals and
acoustics.
A view of Mount
Eden to the east
provides orienta-
tion and a sense of
distance.
Little activity occurs between New North Road and the rail line,
missing out on exposure to passing trade.
The centre is vehicle orientated with poor pedestrian amenity.
Its connections with the surrounding residential areas are poor.
As a result it is largely unsuccessful catering to mainly in and
out type customers.
Morningside Drive is largely vehicle orientated. It provides a
regionally significant vehicle movement function and therefore
experiences a high vehicle count. Businesses take advantage
of high vehicle exposure, while pedestrian amenity is poor.
Land intensity is low relative to Morningsides inner-city location.
Non-residential and residential uses situated on opposite sides
of the street create a poor, inactive street condition.

Linking notable green areas enhances biodiversity and
establishes a legible east-west connection through the
area. Fruit trees and street verges full of edible plants
free for the public will add a unique identity to the link
The creation of new streets linking to the exist-
ing movement network enhances connectivity
throughout the area.
new north-south orientated centre will connect the exist-
g centre to the north and south and link in with the train
ation and the recreation centre. The current east-west
ientation of the centre will not be compromised as a
sult and will remain to offer services to passive vehicle
ade.
New areas designated for predominantly residential
activity will be established in areas removed from
the two main roads and the rail line. A significant
proportion of the site will continue to be used for pre-
dominantly non-residential activity, located along the
busy main roads and rail-line. An expanded centre
will cater for the additional service infrastructure re-
quired for the increase in resident and worker popu-
lation as a result of intensification.

The inclusion of 15m wide road reserves and narrower
pedestrian paths will add more layers of diversity into the
movement network.
Active frontages will be encouraged along Morningside Drive
where the most passing trade will flow, this will increase with-
in the centre to ensure vibrancy.
he refined activity areas continue the concept of separating non-res-
ential and residential activities. Similar activities are aligned across
e street from one another to create a sense of place within the
reetscape. While incompatible activities are separated by mediating
ctivities. A good balance is struck between retaining non-residental
ctivity and introducing new residential activity. New activity areas
tegrate with similar existing activities.

Heights are similar where new buildings adjoin existing
