3 Themes The land around the Whanganui Port is important to the economy of Whanganui and the wellbeing of the people who live in and around the city. Accelerate 25 has set the ball rolling for local, regional and national government investment in the revitalisation of this jewel in Whanganui s crown. So what can business, government, iwi and community do together to unlock the potential of this place and drive Whanganui s future prosperity?

4 Accelerate 25 Not an economic development strategy But a cluster of investment opportunities and concrete steps that if pursued together, will boost the prosperity of the Manawatu/Whanganui Region The Whanganui Port Revitalisation Programme has been identified as a key enabler in the action plan Economic Development Minister, Steven Joyce announced in August that the Government would invest $500,000 in partnership with the Whanganui District Council to develop a master plan to revitalise the Whanganui port area and make a key contribution to the economic, environmental and social wellbeing of Whanganui and surrounding region

5 Benefits Growth in the Whanganui economy Measured by: Increased jobs associated with port land Growth in business associated with port land Economically sustainable business and infrastructure Measured by: Increased business and community confidence More business continuity

64 WHANGANUI GISBORNE INNER PORT SPATIAL HARBOUR EXPLODED CONCEPT FRAMEWORK WORKSHOP 001 The design approach for the Inner Harbour proposes four key spatial typologies which work together to define a functional and distinctive public realm. Theses include the Wharf Promenade, Wharf Sheds, Railway Walk and the Esplanade. 1. ESPLANADE -Transform the Esplanade into a slow speed, green and civic urban esplanade, as the unifying and connecting ele- ment of the Inner Harbour. -Replace existing Phoenix Palms with native species which connect Titirangi to the waters edge. -Rationalise existing parking and vehicle behaviour to provide a balance between all users. -Maintain access to parking, the waters edge, boat ramp and existing industry. TRAINSTOP 2. RAILWAY WALK -Reveal and enhance the existing railway tracks as the focal point of a new pedestrian and cycle pathway connecting existing and proposed destinations. - A pedestrian space with opportunities for occupation. -Enable event access for the train via the existing rail bridge and tracks to between sheds 2 and 3. RAILBRIDGE 3. SHEDS -Retain and enhance the 3 existing wharf sheds as waterfront icons. -Improve the occupation and activation of the wharf spaces through appropriate design and use. CORNE R CORNE R 4. WHARF PROMENADE -Provide continuous waterfront access between shed 1 and wharf 4. -Link together four new wharf lookout and corner spaces. -Rationalise private parking from the waters edge to maximise recreational access and opportunity. -Remove clutter and improve surfaces to provide improved pedestrian amenity.
