Reset led a team of multidisciplinary consultants providing a first ever Overall Concept Plan for the development of Westhaven Marina and Harbour Bridge Park for Auckland City Council.
This strategic area is one quarter of Auckland’s CBD waterfront and the world’s fifth largest marina. Key outcomes were the opening up the coastal strip for public use and recreation together with providing a leading commercial marina facility. Focused consultation with marina users and stakeholders was a key feature of the design process which also included costing and commercial analysis. The development of a wide continuous public promenade around the water’s edge of the site, and the creation of a premier park on the western side of the Harbour Bridge were both identified as high priorities.
The overall project will be implemented in stages over the next 20 years.
