Auckland's CBD waterfront vision

Auckland's CBD waterfront, stretching from the Harbour Bridge in the west to Teal Park in the east, is one of Auckland's greatest assets.

The waterfront plays a major role in the region's economy. The port and the marine and fishing industries have shaped the economic success of Auckland and they will continue to be vital to the region's economy in the future. The waterfront is also the region's gateway to the Waitemata Harbour, the Hauraki Gulf and its islands beyond.

To realise the potential of the waterfront, an integrated approach to future development of the area was needed. To achieve this, a partnership was formed between the Auckland Regional Council and Auckland City, who have worked closely with Ports of Auckland Ltd.

This vision provides a framework to guide the future development of the waterfront. It has been published after consultation with a wide range of stakeholders in the area and with residents and ratepayers of Auckland.

The vision for the waterfront is of a world-class destination that excites the senses and celebrates our sea-loving Pacific culture and maritime history. It supports commercially successful and innovative businesses and is a place for all people, an area rich in character and activities that link people to the city and sea.
