Wynyard Quarter Development: Planning Phase
This Wynyard Quarter site and planned development is unique in Auckland, in terms of its size, its proximity to the city centre and its prime waterfront location. It is surrounded by water on three sides, with a major arterial route and the final leg of the Northern Busway on the fourth side. These situational advantages make the area very attractive for intensive use but also present very significant challenges in terms of accessibility.

Flow is proud of its involvement in the consultant team between early 2020 and late 2023, with involvement specifically in terms of the strategic and detailed transport modelling and the assessment of a range of options against the project’s transport objectives, focussing in particular on the contribution of the options to transport mode change.

As part of improving the train services ahead of the City Rail Link (CRL), Auckland Transport is removing a number of pedestrian level crossings across the train tracks. The project recognises that when a crossing across the train tracks is closed, people have to take an alternative route.
Flow was brought in as the independent auditors of the project. We did a road safety audit, a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessment and a non-motorised user audit of all the closures and each alternative route.

Flow successfully tendered and won a package of works for 20 bus stops in the Howick, Kaipatiki, Manurewa, Ōrākei and Papakura Local Board areas.
Flow was recently responsible for developing a Speed Management Plan for Auckland Transport, in 2023. We undertook considerable research on the effects of lower speed limits, looking at international examples of changing limits from 50 to 30 km/h (or from 30 to 20 mph).

Flow was involved in the Resource Consent stage for the development by Housing Foundation within the block bounded by Tripoli Road, Hīnaki Street and Parata Street, known as Hīnaki 2A. We prepared Transportation Assessment reports for the subdivision and land use consents for 56 homes in a two-staged approach. Our involvement included inputs into the design of the right-of way, vehicle crossings, traffic and street signs and road markings.
Read MoreThe City Rail Link is a proposed 3.4 km underground passenger railway, running between the Britomart Station and the North Auckland railway lines.
Flow’s transport assessments of the City Rail Link considered both the long term (beneficial) effects of the project, and the short term (adverse) effects during construction. The long term effects included identifying the ability to dedicate more space within the Auckland City centre streets for buses, walking and cycling, for people to travel to/from and within the city centre by public transport.
