Development Plan for Wynyard Quarter
HISTORY OF WYNYARD QUARTER
1930 – The Western Reclamation, now known as Wynyard Quarter was progressively constructed by Ports of Auckland’s predecessor,
the Auckland Harbour Board with the last component of the reclamation being completed in 1930.
2004 - Early plans intended to name the new area 'Kahurangi', Māori for 'blue/precious jewel'. This has now been replaced with
'Wynyard Quarter', though it is still generally referred to as Tank Farm, including when talking about the whole Western Reclamation. Others have suggested the label 'Tech-Farm', referencing a 2004 call to showcase on the waterfront New Zealand's best sustainable design and technology, as well as anticipating the government's and council's 2012 initiative to establish an 'innovation precinct' within the Wynyard Quarter.
Political and design processes were underway in the mid and late 2000s to define the future shape of the area, a change process that will take up to 20 years. One of the main public inputs at that time was a wish for increased waterfront access, as well as the desire for more parkland on the point. However, some of these wishes were muted from political sources, as the redevelopment of the area is to be paid by the development of residential areas, with the available land for this use shrinking with an increase of the proposed park space. Already mostly agreed on was a bridge connecting the new quarter to the Viaduct Basin.
2006 - Ports of Auckland still owned 18ha of the 35ha site in 2006 when it was decided that the land would be transferred to its
parent company, Auckland Regional Holdings, owned by the Auckland Regional Council. Also in 2006 after 10-16 storey buildings proposed met strong opposition, the revised July 2007 design contained only a small number of 14-storey towers, with the main apartment strips along the eastern side of Wynyard Wharf being no higher than seven storeys at the road, stepping down to three storeys at the water’s edge. In addition, the plan stated the new Western Reclamation zone was to be dominated by public transport, with the targeted transport mix being 70% public transport / walking / cycling and 30% motor vehicle, a reversal of the rest of Auckland City. Ferries are also mooted as possible connections.
HISTORY OF WYNYARD QUARTER CONTINUED
2007 – In June 2007, more detailed concept plans were published after a year of negotiation between stakeholders. In the first stage of
the redevelopment, the eastern section of the Western Reclamation, along Jellicoe Street, was to be turned into an entertainment strip, to complement similar areas on the eastern side of the Viaduct Basin, and to be completed in time for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. This area was to be linked to the Auckland CBD via a new 'Te Wero' bridge, to be constructed as a lift- or swing bridge after an international design competition, and expected to cost around NZ$35 million.
SeaLink runs a car and passenger ferry service to Great Barrier Island from a terminal at the base of Wynyard Wharf. The company was seeking clarification of its future facilities in the area in 2007, as their lease was running out in 2010, and it was unlikely to invest a planned NZ$19 million in a new terminal or start using a new, faster ferry vessel before legal concerns were sorted out. An ARC planning committee noted that it supported the further provision of the ferry service in the area, though there had previously been concerns about the island freight shipping not fitting into the redevelopment vision of the area. The Waterfront Plan completed 2012 does include the island ferry terminal, to be in the same general area as before.
Late 2000’s - As of the late 2000s, the area was still used by the bulk liquid industry which provides NZ$1.2 billion of yearly
turnover, and 4000 jobs in the Auckland economy. There are also more than 100 marine companies around the area, with a NZ$400 million yearly turnover, exporting items worth NZ$120 million per year.
2011 - The August 2011 opening of the Wynyard Quarter to the general public, with the main features being the new Jellicoe Street and
North Wharf areas, as well as the open spaces around 'Silo Park' (designed by Taylor Cullity Lethlean and Wraight and Associates) and the Viaduct Events Centre, were met with great public interest, and critical acclaim for the synthesis between open space and formerly industrial use.
1. Wynyard Crossing (TeWero Bridge) –pedestrian/cycle bridge
2. Viaduct Events Centre (2011) - exhibition, meeting and hospitality space
3. Karanga Plaza – Public Open Space: Features art, steps down to the water’s edge and is the perfect spot to relax and watch the world go by on the large wooden recliners. Also features KarangaKiosk – hub for info on Wynyard Quarter
4. North Wharf (1910-15) -redeveloped to strengthen pedestrian and cycle connectivity along the waterfront axis. The waterfront edge featuresretail & hospitality businesses and remains a working wharf, accessible to ferries and fishing industries and the public
5. Jellicoe Street – runs parallel to North Wharf and connects KarangaPlaza to marine related activity in the West including Silo Marina. Primary destination for entertainment, retail commercial activity. Includes up-market shopping, dining, bars/clubs and fishing activity such as the fish market.
6. Silo Park – The park comprises of a combination of grass areas, concrete areas, low impact swales (to manage water runoff and filter pollutants) and walkways. The combination of these elements within the park provides a setting to host outdoor events including Silo markets, an open-air movie theatre, exhibitions and other events.
7. North Wharf Extension -an extension to North Wharf will facilitate its use for recreational activities as well as the potential for ferry and water taxi services that will compliment and support the adjacent land based activities.

Residential AccommodationThree different styles of residences:
Pavilions - The pavilions are distinct, free-standing buildings which overlook Daldy Street Park.

On the ground floor of Daldy Street you will find boutique retailers and cafés, while the pavilion apartments are accessed from a lane off Pakenham Street.
Townhouses – A row of eight townhouses is accessed via private patios and individual garages that open to the lane. They are developed over three levels.
Apartments - The larger apartment building is situated behind the row of townhouses and is accessed from a Pakenham Street laneway. The apartments come with one, two or three bedrooms. The intimacy of the lane makes the ground floor of the apartments a perfect location for cafés and boutique retail.
