News from Basin Reserve
The Basin Reserve Museum Stand has been awarded a Silver Award at the New Zealand Commercial Project Awards in the Heritage and Restoration Category.
The New Zealand Commercial Project Awards recognise and showcase the contribution and innovation of the whole project team, the people, rather than just the building itself.
The awards aim to recognise the collaboration and innovation required to bring a commercial project, celebrate the quality of work and craftsmanship required in delivering a superior commercial project, while promoting and encouraging excellent building processes and practices within the commercial construction sector.
The Basin Reserve Museum Stand was built in 1924 and is registered as a Category 2 historic place.
A memo to the LGWM project steering group revealed the study is focused on identifying and understanding the most common walking routes in the city. “We currently count people walking annually, but we don’t study how, where or why they walk or why they may choose not to walk, “ the memo said. “To unlock and better understand which barriers there are to increasing pedestrian commutes and establishing an efficient and engaging pedestrian network we need to understand which environments encourage walking.”
