Design, development, and urban design assessment for resource consent.
The Challenge
To support quality urban design outcomes for this landmark development site. Kāinga Maha was the successful tenderer in a competitive process to redevelop this underutilised Council-owned site in central New Brighton, Ōtautahi Christchurch.
The Solution
TUA completed a wider context and site analysis, considering natural, planning, and infrastructure constraints to support the design advice. Working with the design team, TUA developed and refined the site concept - including attending the urban design panel - to ensure quality urban design outcomes and ultimately successful resource consent to enable this development.
The Journey
This project occurred during a period of change and uncertainty in the local regulatory environment with MDRS and NPS-UD requirements. TUA creatively and pragmatically navigated this complexity, to achieve a balance of the best yield and design outcomes for the site, as well as other key development outcomes for the client and future residents.
