Master-Plan

We were engaged by Waterside Business Centre to assist them in developing their land-holding in Mangere, Auckland.  This included an assessment of the best purpose of the land that involved extensive investigations and designs for developing the land as either an industrial business park or residential development. 

We subsequently undertook detailed traffic modelling, investigated intersection upgrading, assisted with subdivision design, produced an Integrated Transportation Assessment and presented evidence at a recent Plan Change hearing.

We assisted Albany City Developments in preparing a masterplan for this extensive office park located in Corinthian Drive Albany, and prepared assessments for the first of two office buildings to be erected.

We were engaged to review the masterplan for this area that proposes 2000 new houses, a town centre, and a tertiary campus in Taupo. 

We advised on subdivision layout, street and intersection design, and connections to the road network.  The masterplan makes extensive use of cycle paths and promotes numerous pedestrian-friendly aspects. 

McConnell Property requested our assistance with the design and assessment of this masterplanned residential area in eastern Pukekohe. Stage 1 has provided sites for 175 homes and plans for subsequent stages are well advanced.

Wes Edwards Consulting was engaged to assist in developing a plan change to change rural land adjacent to the Papakura Southern Motorway Interchange to urban zoning with provision of a Town Centre and over 1,300 homes.

This involved investigating the traffic impact on the road network including the motorway interchange and presenting evidence to a plan change hearing and subsequently to the Environment Court.  Subsequently we were engaged to assist in developing the Karaka Harbourside and Karaka Lakes subdivisions.

A consortium of landowners in Takanini Structure Plan Area 2b engaged Wes Edwards Consulting to help rezone their land from rural to urban.

A consortium of landowners in Takanini engaged Wes Edwards to assist in developing their rural landholdings (Takanini Structure Plan Area 2a) into urban residential subdivisions.

Urban Master-Planning is the process of developing a blue-print for the development of an area.  We help fit the transport environment (streets, traffic volumes, public transport, parking, walking, and cycling) together with the goals and aspirations for the intended land-use to ensure the best overall outcome.

We were engaged by a group of landowners to assist in the development of their rural land on the western outskirts of Pukekohe.

McConnell Property partnered with Housing New Zealand to develop this 25ha block of land in Takanini to provide 450 homes and a secondary school.  McConnell Property engaged Wes Edwards Consulting to advise on the subdivision design and to assist in obtaining the necessary approvals.

This has involved the assessment of the proposed subdivision, evaluating the traffic impact on the surrounding area, considering access to public transport, and developing solutions for walking and cycling facilities.
