The vision

"Wynyard Point is for the people of Auckland and beyond to celebrate the city's diverse cultural expressions, love of the harbour and enjoyment of a rich choice of opportunities and experiences where the CBD edge meets the sea."

We also want to make sure that Wynyard Point's future development fits in with the overall vision for the whole waterfront that was developed last year by Auckland City and Auckland Regional Council in consultation with key stakeholders and the public.

So these concepts that Auckland City has developed are based on the principles of that vision.

 
Public access and enjoyment

It is easy to get to open space on the water's edge.
