The Future of Auckland's port

Recently, the government and the Auckland council have released a plan too get rid of the Ports of Auckland. This could have some huge benefits for us Aucklanders, But with a big cost

As you can see above, the port takes up a huge amount of space. So imagine all this area being free for all of us Aucklanders to use. most of this land will most likely be used as apartments and residential areas.Which is desperately what Auckland needs. more houses to to fulfill our increasing population.And it could not be in a better spot. But plans not only include residential facilities. Plans could also include a couple of brand new inner city beaches,boardwalks, canals and tonnes of recreational space. This would be great because it could be another reason to get people out to enjoy the City.

The plans not only include the reconstruction of the port, They also include the construction of a brand new stadium to potentially replace Eden Park as New Zealand's national stadium. This is would be incredible if this those happen, but it would be in such a tricky location.This is because the Stadium would end up going on top of the railway junction into Britomart which could potentially mean the Railway tracks would have to go underground. which could be very interesting

As exciting as this all sounds. This is just a proposed idea of what could possibly happen when the Ports 30 year budget and plan ends. As when this ends, the port will have to end up moving up to Whangarei. But lets hope this happens soon because I would like my waterfront again.
