renewal and enhancement of Wiri Reserve Playground in Manukau/Wiri is a project
delivered through the Transform Manukau regeneration programme by Panuku
Development Auckland (Panuku).
4. The
concept design, provided in Attachment A, builds on the Transform Manukau

Church and mana whenua.
6. The

alongside standard play equipment. This was developed by a Māra
Hūpara specialist and has been supported in mana whenua engagement hui.
7. The
playground project allows for play provision to cater for the existing Wiri
community and the new Kotuitui Place development currently under construction.
8. The
playground will progress to detailed design and delivery during Financial Year
2021 and be located between 52 and 54 Trevor Hosken Drive, Wiri.

Context
11. The Transform
Manukau High Level Project Plan (2016) and Manukau Framework Plan (2017)
identifies the importance of this playground in providing amenity for the new
Kotuitui development and its role of activating the connection between Wiri and
Manukau City Centre. The playground project is being implemented and co-timed
with the Barrowcliffe Bridge enhancement project near the Kotuitui Place
residential development. This will increase access alongside the design of a
new replacement pedestrian/cycle bridge near Wiri pond. All these initiatives
are led by Panuku.
12. The
playground project allows for play provision to cater for the existing Wiri
community and the new Kotuitui Place development once completed.
13. Technical
design aspects, including safety and accessibility have been workshopped with
Parks Sport and Recreation and Community Facilities and will be again during
the detailed design phase.
14. The
stakeholder engagement process provided Panuku with valuable insights and
information that was incorporated into the concept design.
15. On
completion, the upgraded asset will be vested to Community Facilities as asset
owner.

Analysis and advice
16. The existing
playground is located on flood prone land on the east of Wiri Stream. This
project relocates the playground to higher ground on the west of the stream.
The new location is out of the flood plain and provides greater access and
parking.
17. The new
playground utilises Māra
Hūpara (traditional Maori play) alongside standard play equipment.
This was developed by a Māra Hūpara specialist and has been supported
in mana whenua engagement hui.
18. There is a
shade covered seating/stage area in the design to allow informal community and
school use for gatherings.
19. Paved connections
to existing footpaths are included in the project.
