Overview
Background
Consultation on the Waterfront Vision
The draft vision, ‘Linking people, city and sea" was released for public consultation in February 2005. The consultation focused on getting feedback on key elements and themes of the vision. This consultation included:
- a questionnaire on various parts of the draft vision
- public meetings and open days
- meetings with stakeholder groups
- a mail-out of 2500 residents and distribution of the publication to 140,000 households in Auckland city.
Feedback was received from 850 people on the draft vision with a number of groups providing more comprehensive and detailed feedback.
In August and September 2005, a second round of consultation focused on giving people the opportunity to provide more detailed feedback on the future of the wider waterfront area.
