Ports of Auckland recognises the important role it plays in the community and environment.
In particular, Ports of Auckland, an iconic part of Auckland City since the mid 1800s, has played a central role in New Zealand’s history and ongoing prosperity.
As a city port, Ports of Auckland takes the sustainable management of its operations, and transparency and open-ness in its communications, very seriously.
Our objective is to be a respected and admired company, balancing the needs of all stakeholders.
Public access to the waterfront
Since 1989, Ports of Auckland has moved eastward, freeing up 70 hectares of prime waterfront land and wharf space for other uses by the city and the region.
This release of land represents around half of the Company’s total waterfront land holdings and is roughly equivalent to the size of the Auckland Domain in area.
Land released includes the Viaduct Harbour, Princes Wharf, Eastern Viaduct, ferry terminals, Westhaven Marina and the Western Reclamation Tank Farm, which is being converted into a mixed-use, people-friendly environment incorporating the fishing and marine industries. Most recently, in June 2009, Ports of Auckland announced the sale of Queens Wharf to the Government and Auckland Regional Council, enabling its redevelopment and greater public access to the CBD waterfront.
The Port has also constructed a public walkway at the eastern edge of the Fergusson container terminal. The 400-metre-long walkway, which boasts a superb view of the harbour and port operations, includes two viewing platforms, pohutukawa plantings and some great spots for fishing. The walkway can be accessed at Mechanics Bay, near Mikano Restaurant. Click here for details on how to safely access Port and walkway.
The company’s Port Development Plan contains a high-level strategic view of how Ports of Auckland envisages developing in the future, including its ability to release more wharf space to the west and undertake further reclamation in the east.
