Queens Wharf An Opportunity For The Future
Queens Wharf An Opportunity For The Future
Auckland Mayor John Banks has acknowledged the decision made by the owners of Queens Wharf – the Government and the Auckland Regional Council – for a temporary structure to be erected at the bottom of Queens Street.
“I have given the Prime Minister an assurance that I will work with him and his Government to ensure the Rugby World Cup is a successful showcase for our great city.
“While the removal of the heritage sheds was not my preferred option, a temporary structure means the new Auckland Council will have the opportunity to plan for the long term development of our waterfront.
“It is my hope that the materials from the historic sheds should be set aside and re-used for another heritage project, possibly on the waterfront.
“I believe all parts of Greater Auckland will play host to ‘party central’, including Queens Wharf. I look forward to the opening up of the Red Gates this weekend.”
