Auckland Downtown Infrastructure Development Programme
Project Management
Inovo was engaged by Auckland Transport to coordinate and oversee the streetscapes elements of the Downtown Infrastructure Development Programme as Workstream Lead (Project Management and Development Management). This role was vital to ensure the projects were designed and delivered by the various project managers in line with the overall objectives and constraints of the wider programme.
The Downtown Programme was a 10-year programme to enhance the downtown waterfront precinct. This area provides a focus and connection for downtown businesses, residents, visitors and locals and aims to connect the city to the harbour.
The Quay Street Enhancement project revitalised Quay Street,with wider footpaths, easier navigation and an enhanced natural environment. Traffic lanes reduced from four to two, dedicated bus lanes and cycleways were constructed and a 30km speed limit was imposed.
The Downtown Bus Interchange project works with the quieter Quay Street, retaining its function as a downtown transport hub integrating different modes of transport and improving navigation between trains, buses and ferries. New interchanges were created at Britomart East and Lower Albert Street. These two terminals function as a destination or starting point, or transfer between buses, ferries and trains.
