Major planned Auckland building projects

We are keeping a list of major Auckland construction projects, given that these will add to a nationally-significant value and stress the capacity of the construction industry to recruit for them.

At this stage we plan only to list projects that will have a total cost of about $100 mln, but other smaller projects that have key icon or infrastructure importance may also be included.

This list was last updated on 8 July 2019.

Nice list David. Thank you for that. Perhaps an indication of where they are would be nice, for those of us who are unaware of Auckland's street names (most of us?).

Thanks David, great list (and impressive). Could you pencil in a reminder in 1, 2 & 3 years to update us with progress on these works please. Thanks

Unfortunately the list does not have on it to build a new container terminal for Auckland in the Firth of Thames. We do not want the container terminals shifted to Whangarei Marsden Point. Auckland desperately needs the money that the Port could earn if it was set up right at Waimangu Point in the Firth of Thames. This is close to the Auckland manufacturing area. It would provide good employment for the subdivisions living in the Pokeno area. A huge saving in green house gases emission rather than dozens of trucks travelling to Marsden Point and return each one burning about 120ton carbon dioxide. Cost of goods would be cheaper for exporters and importers. At the moment 86 trains a week go from Wiri manufacturing area to Tauranga. This was formerly all Auckland Port cargo. The ships calling now usually carry 5500 containers but are no longer economic as Maersk found out losing $1 billion a few years ago. He built large and was so successful every other shipping company followed now over 150 ships almost 400 metres long and 60 metres wide are serving the world ports so one ship coming here could carry 18,000 containers so doing away with three smaller vessels so reducing our greenhouse gases all the way to Europe or wherever. Container rates are coming down on these ships so helping our exporters. We need to urgently build a terminal at Waimangu Point and the cranes can be shifted down to the new site by the crane ship. Three one hour trips to shift them. We have all the plant already so another saving.
If the Govt told the City Council to get moving now the result would be electric for the Auckland economy as the freed up waterfront could be turned into a tourist paradise and an architects dream. This is where the University should be sited and also there would be a stadium and three hotels. We are fed up asnd sick of waiting for action and the Government and Council would score big time with some action now.
