Eke Panuku Development Auckland

Auckland’s waterfront is home to a vibrant display of public artworks, suitable for all ages. Explore it via self-guided Art Walk around Wynyard Quarter? Māori artists in collaboration with mana whenua have collaborated on a number of mahi toi (art works) across the waterfront. From traditional Māori weaving and carving, to sculpture and murals, Eke Panuku has been working with mana whenua to elevate and showcase māoritoi across the waterfront so that tangata whenua can see themselves and their culture reflectedin the landscape.   Check out this downloadable map - https://bit.ly/Artwalkmap to help you find the amazing art that the Wynyard Quarter has to offer!   Auckland Council Tātaki Auckland Unlimited

We are excited to announce that Fiona Knox, Priority Location Director, City Centre Major Projects and Adrian Pettit, one of our Mana Whenua partners from Te Ākitai Waiohua will be speaking later this month at the IAP2 New Zealand Symposium. They will be sharing details on the collective mahi, process and learnings from the engagement approach for Te Ara Tukutuku. Located on the northern point of Wynyard Quarter, this project will deliver the largest new open space in the city centre in 100 years. Key to the public realm design and engagement is the holistic approach to the health and wellbeing of whenua (land), moana (ocean), wai (water) and tāngata (people) and how they interconnect. Eke Panuku has been working with Mana Whenua and design consortium Toi Waihanga to co-design the Te Ara Tukutuku vision and will be sharing the journey so far on Wednesday 26 March.

🏡 Urban regeneration takes vision, strong partnerships, and time – which is why we’re celebrating a major milestone. 🎉 Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities has officially completed the final 30 homes in the Community Lane development in Avondale, bringing the total to 236 brand-new, modern homes. A huge shoutout to the team at Kāinga Ora for their vision and dedication in delivering this social housing development in Avondale! But that’s just the beginning—big things are happening in Avondale town centre. Alongside Auckland Council, we are bringing exciting changes with the construction of Te Hono—a modern library, community hub, and lively town square designed to be the heart of Avondale. We can’t wait to see our newest residents enjoying this space once it is completed and open. By working together with Kāinga Ora and other partners, we’re investing in Avondale’s future—supporting growth, improving local services, and creating amazing places for people to live, connect, and thrive.

Over the last few years, we’ve created new public spaces and streetscapes that reinforce the heart of Takapuna and improves connections with the beach and other key public spaces, such as Waiwharariki Anzac Square.    It is great to see the private sector come on board to provide housing and many new retail and hospitality options that will contribute positively to Takapuna's evolving landscape.

We designed the waterfront with all people in mind – big and small, fishermen and apartment dwellers, old and young, and everyone in between. But if there’s one group that stands out the most, it’s the young. Our future grown-ups – the ones we’re ultimately creating these spaces for. So, things that mattered to them, made sense to them, were the right size, shape, and amount of play for them, were vital. From kicking a ball around Amey Daldy Park ⚽, to the excitement of the Fish Market 🐟, to scootering and seesaws at Hobson Wharf Pocket Park 🛴 , and paddling in the Karanga Plaza Harbour Pool 🏊 – they all get the tick of approval from our tamariki. If you design (and build, and deliver, and manage) spaces with children in mind, you design for everyone. Our streets become safer, our public spaces more inviting, and everything is infused with play—something that benefits us all. As a famous quote goes, “We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors—we borrow it from our children.” So, creating places for them just makes sense, don’t you think?

Simon Oddie, our Priority Location Director for the City Centre, has said it perfectly. Successful regeneration is built on partnerships. As lead agency in Auckland’s city centre, we are working with other parts of council, the private sector, mana whenua and the community, to coordinate our efforts and ensure the city centre becomes one of the most loved and beautiful harbour cities in the world. The redevelopment of the Downtown Carpark by Precinct Properties and Ngati Whatua Orakei is another step in creating amazing places for all Aucklanders and visitors to the city to enjoy.
