Start from Panmure Station to the other sites

Lots of hills

Connections to Tamaki River and Mount Wellington (Maunga)

Bottleneck roundabout

3 sites:

Maungarei carpark site

Towncentre and library area with abandoned shops

In front of Basin newly developed (doesn’t need much development and not lot of constraints)

Auckland Urban Design Office involved with master planning work for the last couple years

Mission is to create thriving town centres

Panmure identified to intervene for urban regeneration Eastern busway projects starts here heads towards pakuranga . Having really good transport infrastructure train and busway

Town centre is struggling with rise in online shopping and other centres competing with it no longer supermarket there around the town centre. Boundary in eke panuku  master plan

High quality neighbourhood should have mixed use and vibrancies as well as wanting 24/7 town centre open areas and car parking with residential further out so want to bring residential into the centre

Connect centre with natural surroundings has maungarei and basin ewith good recreation areas that are disconnected from the town centre

Key moved is connect town centre into these open spaces and revitalise the Main Street to the town area

Commercial community residential

Streetscape upgrade to maungarei

Town square in centre of the Main Street

Reserve at the basin has just been upgraded (seems like doesn’t need that much more development)

We don’t want to block off the connection to the maunga so there is a height restriction which is in the unitary plan and think about what you want to close and open up. “Volcanic view shafts planning control it sets up maximum height limit.”

Library is the main community hub, the plan is to demo the buildings down the road from there (pyttleton) to enable views/access to the basin

Square: Focus on safety and there is deficit in play, couple round the basin but generally not really

Brief constructed in 2022/23 acts like the gathering space for panmure, key connection to train station from potaka lane with the library to and community hall main hubs, behind library is a walkway towards residential area by the river that is being worked on by Tamaki regeneration company to up the number of houses and dwellings in that area which is at the door step of panmure so this area here offers key connection

Pedestrian crossing to the library was put as this key connection required safety

Town square key part of master plan, no civic open space so this is needed to enlighten the heart of panmure, identified the area at the end of the road pilkington road at the end has a row of shops to be a town square provide that heart for the community and civic open space open up.

Steps: Townsquare, parallel on areas behind basin view precinct, create ultimate town square design as part of holistic design process

Stage one to find out what they want there and what works there

What will bring people into this space with new development but still stay connected to the people already here through activities and spaces

Basin View Point

Town square just behind that green building that is opposite that intersection to Clifton walk so by opening that up we have a visual connection we have an open public civic space and we also have…

Master planning work setting structure of area how do we create spaces for development

Topography constraints no access to busways there so street needs to come in from basin view lane

Site tapers until it gets to main intersection, private commercial premises access considerations to this as well as step terraces with ramps through it in lower portion accessible lift at the top that is public and connects to the spaces above

Idea is how to thread these spaces back together

Lagoon edge reserve AUDO project chosen for its location next to the basin and popular recreation loop where all the colmunity

Next to town centre so it connects it to surrounds, through

Open space up for new users under tree and seating spaces

Shade important, tree canopy coverage, cultural narratives for panmure through artwork and carvings around the seat benches and ground plane patterns speaks to the basin settlement and occupation of panmure with connection to water as source of life

Narrative of taniwha that lives in basin seen by first chief moko liku piku waru

Serpentine space  and forms the end point of strategy so if we join up these spaces we open it up and make it safer for the future public realm and stairs and ramps to the Main Street

Mountain road maungarei where there is more accessible and usable series of spaces that connect the Mauna all the way through the town centre to the basin
