Wānaka Health Precinct

The Reset team is excited to see that Resource Consent has officially been granted for the new world-class Wānaka Health Precinct joint venture between Roa and Kā Rūnaka (represented by Puketeraki Ltd and Ōtākou Ltd). A huge milestone for this transformative healthcare project in the South Island.
Reset provided specialist urban design and landscape architectural services for the resource consent application. The consent is for a five-level surgical hospital and helipad, supported by four purpose-designed buildings for allied medical services, on-site car parking and an extensive public realm. Set on a 1.3ha site in Three Parks, this isn’t just a healthcare development, it’s a place designed for people. A place to gather, to heal, to breathe.
Our landscape and urban design vision focuses on:
- Biophilic planting to support wellbeing, biodiversity and kai
- Reflective water features and sustainable water systems
- Calm, meandering paths with bridges and green pockets for rest
- Spaces for events, art, connection and cultural expression
- Deep collaboration with Aukaha Mana Ahurea team to embed stories of place
It’s been such a rewarding experience working alongside the awesome teams at Roa, Warren and Mahoney, and Aukaha to help shape this much-needed health hub for the Upper Clutha community.
It’s been a joy to help bring this vision to life, and we’re just getting started. Read more about the development here
