Right now, Wellington is in a period of transition, as we upgrade our infrastructure to create a city where people and nature thrive. One of the most important projects is the revitalisation of the heart of our city, the precinct around Te Ngākau Civic Square. Te Ngākau Civic Precinct is a large area of land near the waterfront in central Wellington, approximately 3.36 hectares (33,600sqm). The precinct is home to some of our most important cultural, creative, and civic functions such as Te Matapihi Central Library, Wellington Town Hall and City Gallery. When all the work in Te Ngākau is finished, it will be a place that we can all be proud of – full of creativity, culture, and excitement, both day and night. city-to-sea-bridge civic-square te-ngkau-precinct places consultation wcc government Mon, 21 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz/te-ngakau-plan Kōrero Mai | Let's Talk | Wellington City Council 2024-10-21T00:00:00Z -41.2886381 174.7770472723911 Te Ngākau Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://eyeofthefish.org/te-ngakau-civic-square-2/ This is what the Council were discussing last week Te Ngākau Update Council Briefing – September 2024 Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience – Key Approaches:... civic-square te-ngkau-precinct places architecture blogs Thu, 12 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/te-ngakau-civic-square-2/ Eye of the Fish 2024-09-12T00:00:00Z -41.2886381 174.7770472723911 Te Ngākau Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://architecture.org.nz/2024/09/06/puheke-city-to-sea/ As you may be aware Council members were briefed on Te Ngākau Civic Square Precinct Development Plan, created by Pōneke Collective with Council officers, on September 4.
