Downtown project presentation and onsite visit

Our attendees enjoyed some breakfast and a presentation from the Project Director - Bruce Cullen, Project Engineer - Alexandra Favre, Utilities manager- Carishma Yel, and Alan Bell.

The presentation discussed the Early Contractor Involvement, Enabling Works Contract and Main Works Contract. The presentation also covered key elements of the Project including the Contract model and commercial terms, the Development Response programme and the complexity around fast-tracking the project within New Zealand’s most populated and busy precinct.

The Downtown Infrastructure Development Programme oversees the integrated delivery under a single contract a programme of high profile strategic Auckland Transport and Auckland Council projects, to bring to life the vision of a generous and welcoming destination along the water’s edge that is recognisably Tāmaki Makaurau.

This work is vital for achieving a functioning waterfront, visitor experience, and transport hub (rail / ferry, bus) as well as enduring legacy value improving Auckland’s visibility on the world stage during and after key events from 2020.

This presentation was then followed by an informative site visit and tour of the construction areas.
