Urban Design Point Chevalier

THE PROJECT

10 SectorsRoad /

causeway widening

Deep tunnel / cut and cover

at ends

New surface section of motorway

Assessment of Effects

Assessments for project:Social Impact AssessmentVisual Effects AssessmentLand Use AssessmentIntegrated Traffic AssessmentOthers (e.g. noise, ecological, archaeological)

Scope of impacts / issuesSpecialist investigationsConsultation

Identify mitigation / design responsesUrban & landscape design plans

KEY ISSUES – project wide

Loss of active and passive open space

Impacts on the quality of remaining open space

Severance of open spaces and between communities

Large structures associated with the motorway – and the motorway itself

Reduction of landscape buffer (SH16)

Scope of Issues – Open Space

Scope of Issues – Severance

Scope of Issues – Visual Impacts

KEY ISSUES – Point Chevalier

Large new structures near the Waterview interchange include:

flyovers

tunnel portal building

ventilation stack.

Structures are located within sites of Maori and European significance as well as the CMA

Much of Waterview Park is lost, creating open space issues for the local community

KEY ISSUES – Point Chevalier (cont.)

Removal of housing along Great North Road accentuates ‘gap’ between the Waterview and Point Chevalier communities

Widening of SH16 between Waterview and St Lukes brings the highway edge closer to some houses as well as the Chamberlain Park golf course

There is limited soil depth along SH16 for mitigation planting due to surface level basalt

URBAN AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Responds to the identified issues, and to strategic and physical context

Urban design teams and engineers working together

Concept design – the ‘vision’ for the project – described and illustrated in Urban and Landscape Design Framework

Detailed design still being developed

DESIGN CONTEXT

SH20 - The volcanic highway theme…Interprets significant volcanic landmark features through landscape architecture and design of structures

SH16 - The green route theme…Intensive planting of native species and minimising impacts on Waitemata harbour to create eco-corridor and urban forest

LANDSCAPE DESIGN CONCEPT

WATERVIEW INTERCHANGE

KEY MOVES

Extension of walking route including to Star Mill and along Oakley Creek

SH16 cycleway links to existing network

Semi-buried portal building

Design underside of flyovers

Planting:north of SH16, a new ‘urban forest’

around ramps and along Great North Road

revegetated Oakley Creek

WATERVIEW VENTILATION BUILDING

PHYLLIS RESERVE

KEY MOVES

Phyllis Reserve access improved:widened frontage

additional planting

new high level bridge linking over Oakley Creek

PHYLLIS RESERVE PEDESTRIAN / CYCLE BRIDGE

POINT CHEVALIER

KEY MOVES

Cycleway – clearer and safer connection at Carrington Road

Significant trees retained

Intensive planting where space permits
