Te Ngakau – Civic Precinct should be the beating heart of our city – a place for events, music, entertainment, relaxation, casual fun, protests, celebrations; a place that reflects our heritage and our stories, a beautiful, flexible, resilient, connected place to enjoy and be proud of – a place for everyone, a place for life!
It must be so much better than the broken precinct it is today, or indeed its original design. It is a big challenge and a big opportunity. For the sake of our Central City, action is imperative.
This week the City Council will approve a draft Framework for consultation to guide redevelopment.
