Waterfront Development

Lagoon and Rowing Clubs

Development of the Wellington waterfront is ongoing. The area referred to as the waterfront is the harbour edge from the Railway Station through to the Overseas Passenger Terminal.

Waterfront Framework

In April 2001 the Council adopted the Wellington Waterfront Framework, which guides development of the central waterfront area.

The Council's Waterfront Development Subcommittee (WDSC) uses the Framework to develop an annual Waterfront Development Plan setting out development priorities.

Public Input

A high level of public input is sought on all development projects. The development is then implemented by Wellington Waterfront Limited (WWL), which also runs day-to-day operations on the central waterfront area.

Overseas Passenger Terminal

Resource consent was granted for the preferred design for the Overseas Passenger Terminal in early 2008. This consent has subsequently been appealed to the Environment Court, with the appeal hearing expected to occur in late 2008.

Repairs to Rotten Piles

Wellington Waterfront Limited surveyed the condition of all the wharves from the Overseas Passenger Terminal to the service jetty opposite Whitmore Street. Following the survey, a staged repair programme on the wharves began in July 2009.

Stage 1 focuses on the Taranaki Street Wharf area as well as some minor works on the Queens Wharf 'outer T'. Most of the work will be carried out below the wharf deck. Stage 1 will be completed by December 2009.
