Schedule 1

Designation Zones and Elements

The following set of landscape zones and elements apply to the Work being undertaken for

the “State Highway (Basin Bridge)” designation. The concept plans shown in this Schedule

divides the designation into 6 zones with landscape treatments and design elements

indicated in each zone.

The following plans define the zones:

[List of concept plans presented at the Board of Inquiry]

The following zone specific principles and detailed design considerations apply to detailed

urban and landscape design development and implementation.

Comment [YW1]: Each zone needs to refer to the concept plans presented at the Board of Inquiry.




Zone 1 – Cambridge/Buckle Bridge Interface Zone

Scheme Design Summary Plan

Zone 1 Specific Principles

(Note: Relocation of the former Home of Compassion Crèche and curtilage treatment are

assumed to be part of the NWM Park (Pukeahu) Empowering Act 2012 works which will be

completed in 2015 and form part of the receiving environment)

Zone 1a Develop a landscape interface to the bridge abutment landing and Buckle Street to:

Envelope the bridge abutment landing zone to eliminate any undercroft space lower

than 2.4m;

Provide accessible high open space amenity landscape under the bridge;

Provide a design that responds to and interprets the topography of the site.,;

Incorporate and integrate separate paths for accessible pedestrian and fast easy to

use cycle circulation around and under the bridge; and

Incorporate a, gathering, retention and filtering of surface water from the bridge and

street as a visible component of the landscape.

stormwater from the bridge, adjacent paths and roads;

Contribute a complementary ‘foreground’ landscape to the bridge abutment landing,

the relocated former Crèche, the Carillon and NWM Park beyond in views from Kent

and Cambridge Terrace;

Provide accessible, functional, high amenity landscape spaces that respect the NWM

Park sequence of public space; and

Incorporate separate paths for accessible public pedestrian and fast easy to use cycle

circulation linking with the NWM Park, Buckle Street and Kent/ Cambridge corridor.

Develop a landscape interface to the relocated former Crèche to:

Structure, interpret and reflect the sloping topography of the valley edge and the

former wetland environment of Waitangi Lagoon;

Complement and reinforce the presence of the former Crèche in its new elevated

location adjacent to Zone 1 and include design interpretation that recognises the

former location of the Crèche within the landscape; and

Incorporate public pedestrian and cycle access to the former Crèche, the bridge and

the NWM Park beyond.

Zone 1 Detailed design considerations

This landscape provides an important foreground to the view of the bridge; the Carillon and

the former Crèche building. The quality, finish and detailed design of the built components

of this landscape need to be respect the NWM Park. The wetland planting should define the

ecological setting of the site and the connection though to Waitangi Park planting in order

to make the association from the former Waitangi Lagoon to the sea.

Planting of the steeper terraces should also respect the NWM Park details.

The wetland terraces are to be rain gardens, designed to receive, filter and detain

stormwater from the bridge, paths and roads. Therefore integrated stormwater drainage

design will be required.

Maintenance of the wetlands, tree and terrace planting will be critical to ensuring ongoing

success of this space. These need to be designed therefore to ensure good functionality and

considering future maintenance and possible development of future wetland spaces down

Kent and Cambridge Terrace.

Zone 2 – Kent/Cambridge Basin Gateway


Zone 2 – Specific Principles

Develop a landscape interface to:

Provide a design that responds to and interprets tangata whenua values including

the historical wetland ecology of the former Waitangi Lagoon, now the Basin Reserve

and the Waitangi Stream which now flows in the stormwater pipe under Cambridge

Terrace;

Provide for safe, visible and generous sheltered public access and gathering to the

northern entry of the Basin Reserve;

Provide fast easy to use cycle circulation into the northern entry of the Basin Reserve

Comment [YW10]: This needs more work. If you put it in plain English is means nothing more than putting the pier in the ground. What is being said here?




Structure soft (plant material) and hard (paving, street furniture) landscape

components to define gathering and circulation space in relation to existing median

circulation zones. This will be done through the reconfiguration of pedestrian

crossings, bus stops, and the Basin Reserve Gateway;

Provide landscape elements and built gateway components of the Basin Reserve that

enhance the physical and visual amenity of the undercroft of the bridge, its piers,

adjacent roading.

Integrate the bridge undercroft landscape with the landscape beyond the Basin

Reserve;

Provide appropriate visual mitigation between the Basin Reserve and the bridge by a

combination of additional planting, and/or screening, and/or new building structure.


WCC has indicated the desire to develop the Kent and Cambridge Terrace boulevard to

improve urban design form and function. The design of this space is very much a part of

that boulevard while still respecting other connections such as Waitangi Park to the north

the NWM Park to the west, the Basin Reserve to the south, Government House to the south

and ultimately the open spaces of Wellington College, Wellington East Girls College and the

Town Belt to the east, . The design should:

Integrate the landsape with the Kent and Cambridge Terrace boulevard (aka Canal

Reserve);

Provide safe, visible and generous public and cycle space entry to the Basin Reserve;

Integrate and coordinate the materials used across Zone 2 and with the adjacent

landscapes Basin Bridge Zones including materials, lighting, furniture and detailing;

Join the landscape between the inside and outside the Basin Reserve;

Provide specific wind shelter at selected locations (e.g. at bus stops and traffic lights)

without introducing negative CPTED implications.

The new Basin Reserve Northern Gateway Building should:

Integrate with new as well as existing landscape and buildings, including the R.A.

Vance Stand, Players’ Pavilion (if kept), and the existing toilet block;

Ensure the design, management and occupation of spaces are in alignment with the

concept design configuration and form, including hierarchy of public interface and

service, degree and location of openings/ glazing, and expression as a gateway

pavilion to the Basin Reserve;

Support the landscape in providing safe, visible, and generous public space entry to

the Basin Reserve;

Ensure the Gate design into the Basin Reserve at the bottom of the building allows

visually permeable gate for security at night, or for events, and additional visually

impermeable ‘shutters’ can be added when there is a cricket match time. The gates

shall be designed to achieve porosity levels of 30-35% when shut, to mitigate

potential wind effects. While the Ground level screens to the east of the public

gateway are not publicly accessible, the requirement for visual permeability in the

default mode applies;

Ensure CPTED principles are used to develop the design and management of the

facility; and

Ensure high quality and enduring materials detailing and colour maintain a clear

articulation between the 3 components of base, mid-layers, and roof form:

Ensure screening elements of the gates are architecturally integrated and of a quality

that is consistent with the building itself;

Ensure that the Northern Gateway Building presents a positive frontage to the

important view from Kent and Cambridge Terraces;

Ensure that the south façade has formal articulation allowing for a occupiable

balcony space developed with a coherent building composition, and which ensure

that the interior of the building and its users engage with the Basin reserve Cricket

Ground;

Express and design the undercroft of the gate area as a high quality entrance space;

Provide effective visual screening that can close off the ground level undercroft

openings of the Northern Gateway Building during matches;

Provide fencing/barrier and gates that will maximise views through to the ground

outside match times, and allow for physical access control as required; and

Provide screening if and as necessary to provide for shelter in excessively windy

conditions in the undercroft.

Zone 6 – The Bridge Element


Zone 6 - Element Specific Principles

An over-riding design objective is integration. To achieve integration with its broader

context the bridge shall:

Be aligned horizontally:

With the alignment of the existing streets and buildings (the city grid), in particular

the Ellice/ Buckle corridor;

With the outer edge of the Basin Reserve ‘Square’ such that it maintains the existing

space around the Basin Reserve and reinforces the form of the historical built edge

to the Square;

To provide a straight and perpendicular crossing of the Kent/ Cambridge corridor;

To optimise a clear and legible journey for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists along

the bridge route; and

To optimise clear and legible journey and physical connections for vehicles,

pedestrians and cyclists under the bridge.

Be aligned vertically:

Comment [YW37]: Integration with what? This is redundant and needs deleting.

Deleted:




To provide an elevated valley crossing in a manner that accentuates the reading of

existing topography;

To provide sufficient height to allow for the necessary head height for traffic

crossing under, but still be of the right height to visually within the Basin Reserve

fringe planting canopy, and the historical building scale of Kent/ Ellice corner; and

Be of a design language (form, material, character) that, while incorporating specific

local character responsive to local conditions that it traverses, also has recognisable

consistency across its length as a single element.

To achieve integration with its local context the bridge shall be considered and expressed as

5 different sub-components complementing a sequence of spaces and experiences,

including:

1. The Zone 1 landing - where abutments and bridge structure are integrated and

grounded in the form and material of the landscape terracing in this zone;

2. The Kent/ Cambridge crossing- where the bridge is a minimal and elegant ‘flying’

element crossing the Kent/ Cambridge corridor;

3. The Kent/ Ellice corner- where the bridge is integrated within the city block structure

along with new corner building and verandah to the footpath below;

4. The Hania/ Ellice/ Dufferin zone - where the bridge is an elevated curving transitional

element spanning between the corner of Kent Terrace and the Dufferin landing zone;

5. The Dufferin landing zone where abutments and structure are integrated and

grounded in the landscape;

6. The pedestrian and cycle clip-on provides access onto the bridge for these modes.

This addition allows the bridge to have a thin edge along the northern face thus

reducing its visual impact from the Kent Terrace and NWM Park approaches. Ensure

safe and functional access is provided for pedestrian & cyclists from Paterson Street

to connect with the NWM Park and into the city via Tory/ Taranaki Streets; and

7. The pedestrian and cycle clip on lands at Paterson Street on a solid retained

structure. The St Joseph’s Church side is planted with a climber to form a green wall.

The retaining wall extends up to provide the balustrade.


The design mechanisms to achieve integration, and contribute positive effects in terms of

visual amenity, quality of space (above and below bridge), and quality of experience (above

and below the bridge) includes:

Consistent design language in form, material and surface of constructed

components and adjacent constructed landscape/ building components.

Ground transition/ abutments to be designed in a manner that:

Read as extended (solid) landscape components capturing the flying end of the

bridge;

Avoids undercroft under minimum 2.4m and forms high amenity accessible

circulation spaces adjacent to the abutment integrated with the landscape;

Are formed in response to lines of view and movement through and under the

bridge; and

Provide a design character that is integrated with the adjacent landscape.

Piers to be designed in a manner that:

Are sculptured as dynamic forms perceived and experienced ‘in the round’ at

different proximities and velocities;

The alignment and form is specifically responsive to sightlines and lines of

movement through and around the piers;

Express a design relationship to the landscape elements and abutments; and

Considers potential to incorporate seating as an integrated component.

Superstructure designed in a manner that:

Provides for long spans (approx 38 - 40m) reducing the number of piers, creating a

visually open and uncluttered groundscape;

Provides for minimal structural depth- and the ability to reduce the edge thickness to

achieve a fine perimeter profile- reducing the perceived visual width and depth;

Provides for articulated expressed form and texture to the undercroft; and

Provides for differentiated articulated expressed form at the transitions (i.e. curves,

connections to buttresses/ piers between pedestrian/ cycle and main bridge)

Perimeter elements/ top surface components (balustrades/ barriers/ screens), while

providing for necessary safety functions, shall be designed in a manner that:

Are visually integrated with the formal design and modulation of the superstructure,

while designed as low (visual) mass to achieve a fine perimeter profile;

Design infrastructure elements such as downpipes, electrical conduits etc, to

integrate into the structure of the bridge;

Minimise the interruption of outlook from the pedestrian bridge/ perception of

activity and life on the bridge;

Minimise the visual separation of vehicles and pedestrians/ cycles; and

Promotes the perception of bridge as ‘elevated street’- rather than motorway flyover,

by accentuating human scale elements and continuity with Buckle Street.

Provide for safety and give a strong perception of safety for the vehicles, pedestrians

and cyclists that use the bridge.

Lighting the bridge shall be designed in a manner that:

Provides lux levels in accordance with AS/NZS 1158 Lighting for Roads and Public

Spaces for the trafficable areas on the bridge surface and according to CPTED

principles but minimises glare to adjacent areas;

Comment [YW47]: What does this mean? Wouldn’t it be better to state a plan number for this?

Comment [YW48]: From the footpath from the road from the what sightlines?

Comment [YW49]: No relationship to the rest of the bridge?

Comment [YW50]: What does this mean?

Comment [YW51]: What about decent lux for the pedestrians and cyclist on the bridge?




Is integrated with the formal design and modulation of the bridge; and

Is integrated with the structure of boulevard lighting of the adjacent NWM Park and

undergrounding of Buckle Street. Pole and light fitting to match if possible.

Lighting below the bridge should be designed in a manner that:

Provides lux levels in accordance with AS/NZS 1158 Lighting for Roads and Public

Spaces for the trafficable and public space areas. Lux levels to meet CPTED principles

while minimising glare; and

Incorporates architectural lighting that highlights forms, surfaces and textures of the

superstructure, undercroft, piers and abutments in a manner that contributes

positive amenity to public areas from where the bridge can be seen and experienced.

Comment [YW52]: This is not the NWM Park. The park vehicle lighting will go into a tunnel. Are we meant to integrate with tunnel lighting.? Is there no integration with the lighting on Kent and Cambridge Terrace?
