After public consultation and some tweaking, a revised plan is now up and apparently has the go-ahead.
Extensive public feedback and ongoing discussions with key stakeholders have led to the following key changes:
- the location and extent of public space
- the potential for an iconic building site at the northern point
- the nature and extent of Daldy Street Linear Park
- the capacity to enable the city to host marine events
- increased land for the established marine industries.

Looks like 2008 onwards will be busy years of construction for Auckland. I still quite like the overall design proposal, and the addition of more public space and potential for a iconic building is very promising. Lets hope they get it right.
