From WCC:
The waterfront precinct is a celebrated part of our city, and our goal is to ensure it's a safe, vibrant place for everyone. We are undertaking significant upgrades to the lighting and edge protection along the waterfront to meet the evolving needs of this popular area and create an even better place for everyone to enjoy.

• Upgrading the existing promenade lighting network with new pole and building-mounted lights

• Installing permanent edge protection measures

• Enhancing overall safety and accessibility of the waterfront

• Developing a disposal plan for old materials that supports our broader sustainability goals.

The project team is working closely with a diverse group of stakeholders to ensure the best outcomes for the waterfront, including:

• Tenants and businesses in the area

• Our Tākai Here partners and mana whenua designers

• The waterfront Technical Advisory Group (TAG)

• External experts including lighting engineers, landscape architects, urban designers, heritage advisors, and structural engineers

We are also actively engaging with property owners, hospitality and tourism operators, and various waterfront users such as commuters, tourists, and performers.

This collaborative approach reflects the principle of Manaakitanga, emphasising hospitality, care, and valuing each individual's safety.
