Downtown Development Programme - Quay
Street Seawall construction disruption
File No.: CP2018/01213
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To
receive an overview of the Quay Street seawall upgrade project, and to provide
feedback on the process for managing potential impacts.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. The
seismic upgrade of the Quay St seawall is a critical enabler for the wider
Downtown Infrastructure Development Programme (Downtown Programme), and also
will prepare the precinct for the America’s Cup and APEC events in 2021.
3. The existing seawall does not meet current design standards for
seismic performance, and there are sections that are in need of general repair
due to scour damage to the surface and at the toe of the seawall.
4. An opportunity also exists to create resilience to future climate and
changing use patterns, particularly the impacts of ship wash as ferry and
cruise ship operations intensify their activity.
5. There are two types of construction methodologies proposed for the
seawall:
· in-ground palisade wall in the road reserve
· post and panel wall seaward of the existing wall.
6. The
project will likely result in disruption to city centre operations, including
impacting businesses and people who live work and play in the city centre.
7. Resource consent applications are expected to be lodged beginning of
April 2018, with anticipated construction of certain sections commencing in
September 2018.
8. Feedback
is sought from the Auckland City Centre Advisory Board on the process for
managing potential impacts resulting from this project, as well as feedback on
how Auckland Council can keep businesses and residents informed and engaged
throughout this process.
|
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation
That the Auckland City Centre
Advisory Board:
a) provide
feedback on the process for managing potential impacts of the Quay Street
seawall upgrade project.
|
Horopaki / Context
9. The
Quay Street seawall extends from the western side of Lower Hobson Street to the
western side of Marsden Wharf. The seawall forms the harbour edge of an
historic reclamation, which supports Quay Street, as well as the services
contained within the road corridor.
10. The existing seawall does not meet current design standards for
seismic performance, and there are sections that are in need of general repair
due to scour damage to the surface and at the toe of the seawall. An
opportunity also exists to create resilience to future climate and changing use
patterns, particularly the impacts of ship wash as ferry and cruise ship
operations intensify their activity.
11. Completing the upgrade is an important enabler of the wider Downtown
Infrastructure Development Programme (Downtown Programme), and will also
prepare the precinct for the America’s Cup and APEC events in 2021. The
project has most of its funding in place, with the remainder anticipated to be
allocated through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 process.
12. The seawall
has been divided into four sections and design options developed accordingly.
The four sections are:
· Princes Wharf
· Ferry Basin
· Ferry Building
· Queens Wharf to
Marsden Wharf.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
Construction
methodologies
13. There
are two types of construction methodologies proposed for the seawall and these
will be used in the different sections:
· Princes
Wharf and Queens Wharf to Marsden Wharf will be an in-ground palisade wall in
the road reserve
· Ferry
Basin and Ferry Building will be a post and panel wall seaward of the existing
wall.
In-ground
palisade wall in the road reserve
14. A
palisade wall is comprised of piles at regular spacing forming an in-ground
wall, with the spacing appropriate to allow the soil to ‘arch’
between the piles and provide lateral support. The in-ground palisade wall is
proposed in the Quay Street road reserve, behind the existing sea wall. At
Princes Wharf, the palisade wall would be in the current footpath area on the
northern side of Quay Street and crossing the vehicle accessway onto Princes
Wharf. The proposed palisade wall will be approximately 110 m in length. The
wall will consist of approximately 900 mm diameter reinforced concrete piles
spaced at approximately 2.5 m centre-to-centre spacing. This results in a total
of 45 piles for this section of the seawall upgrade.
15. At
Queens Wharf to Marsden Wharf the in-ground palisade wall is proposed in the
Quay Street road reserve, landward of the existing sea wall and will be
approximately 300 metres in length. The wall will consist of approximately 900
millimetre diameter reinforced concrete piles spaced at approximately 2.5
metres centre-to-centre spacing. This results in a total of 121 piles for this
section of the seawall upgrade.
16. The
top of the palisade wall piles will be approximately one metre beneath the
ground surface and a capping beam will be constructed connecting the top of the
piles.
Post and
panel wall seaward of the existing wall
17. A
post and panel wall is proposed for the Ferry Basin section of the Quay Street
seawall upgrade. For this section, the post and panel wall is proposed
immediately seaward of the existing seawall.
18. The
proposed post and panel wall will be approximately 125 metres in length. The
wall will consist of approximately 1,200 millimetre wide “H” shaped
reinforced concrete piles spaced at approximately three metres centre-to-centre
spacing. This results in a total of 43 piles for this section of the seawall upgrade.
19. For
the Ferry Building section of the Quay Street the post and panel wall is
proposed immediately seaward of the existing seawall. The proposed post and
panel wall will be approximately 95 metres in length. The wall will consist of
approximately 1,200 millimetre diameter reinforced concrete piles spaced at
approximately three metres centre-to-centre spacing. This results in a total of
33 piles for this section of the seawall upgrade.
Potential
impacts and key issues for stakeholders
20. The
potential key impacts that the team are seeking to manage include:
· noise and vibration
· access - for
pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles
· heritage - a number
of buildings and features
· landowners, leases,
tenants, visitors and the public
· trees.

Local impacts and local board views
21. Engagement
with the Waitematā Local Board has occurred for the Downtown
Infrastructure Development Programme at the programme level. Further updates on
the programme will be provided at the local board cluster meetings on 19 and 26
March 2018, including the Quay Street seawall.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact
statement
22. The Auckland
Transport Mana Whenua forum will be used to engage with mana whenua on a
project by project basis, with the Quay St seawall scheduled to be discussed at
the 14 February 2018 forum.
23. To date,
engagement at the programme level and on governance outcomes has occurred
through the Panuku Mana Whenua Governance forum, however this will transition
to the newly established Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Governance forum.
24. As part of
this, a process for developing a Māori Outcomes Framework for the city
centre has been discussed with the chairs of the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki
Governance forum, and subject to wider approvals, will begin in early March
2018.
25. In parallel
to this, technical resource and advice for mana whenua is being engaged to
support mana whenua in the consideration of, and feedback on, the resource
consent applications for the Downtown Programme, including the seawall. This
has been agreed through the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Governance forum.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
26. The Quay
Street seawall project has most of its funding in place, with the additional
required funding to be allocated through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 process.
27. High level
estimates put the value of works at approximately $80 million for the full
length, however this will be subject to change as design detail develops and
further investigations are undertaken.
28. The funding
is held by Auckland Transport.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
29. Key risks are
associated with delays to the delivery programme and interdependencies with
other projects within the programme of works.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
30. Resource
consent applications are expected to be lodged beginning of April 2018, with
anticipated construction of certain sections commencing in September 2018. The
works around the ferry building are not programmed until after the
America’s Cup, but consent for that section is being sought now to
demonstrate that the council has a comprehensive approach to the seawall
replacement.
