The Waterfront Leadership Group started in early September 2000. Its job was to recommend to the Council a framework to guide the future development of Wellington’s central waterfront area – a 20-hectare site from the Overseas Passenger Terminal near Oriental Bay to Shed 21 opposite the Railway Station. This framework is a platform for development on the waterfront.
The Group’s brief was to recommend a vision for the waterfront, the principles and values that should govern future development, and an urban design framework for the area. Later stages of the project will develop the detailed performance briefs, based on this framework, which will see areas of the waterfront developed for Wellingtonians to enjoy.
