The 2020 City Centre Masterplan (CCMP) refresh closed for consultation on Friday 18th October. Urban Design Forum put forward a submission on behalf of their committee and membership in support of the CCMP update and the Access for Everyone proposal.
Overall, UDF was in support of the proposed refresh of the City Centre Masterplan.
We believe that this is an important document providing vision and direction for the delivery of a quality built outcome and an inclusive, prosperous and accessible heart of Tāmaki Makaurau for all residents and visitors.
We were pleased to see that the first Transformational Move is focused on Maori outcomes, and appreciated the strong alignment between the Auckland Plan and the CCMP’s Future Outcomes.
Our recommendations gave direction on how we create an accessible and equitable city centre for all socio-economic backgrounds, asked that CCMP showcase what has been delivered to date with metrics, suggested strategies that ensure the delivery of the masterplan, and asked for clear alignment on how Access for Everyone manifests through the Transformational Moves.
We hope that our submission helps Auckland Council further the development of the City Centre Masterplan and Access for Everyone, as they have the ability to empower, strengthen and unlock the potential of Tāmaki’s centre.
