WestCity Waitakere

WestCity Waitakere is a major regional shopping centre located in Henderson, a suburb in Auckland, New Zealand. It is 15.9 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of the Auckland CBD, and is immediately adjacent to The Boundary. The centre has a current catchment area of 174,340 persons, and annual turnover at the centre for 2006 was $161.10 million NZD with 8.5 million visitors per year. In February 2017, it was announced that owner Scentre Group had sold the mall, at the time named Westfield WestCity, to the family-owned Australian business Angaet Group for $147 million AUD. History and development The shopping centre had its origins in the 1960s, when the Henderson Borough Council established it, with the first stage opened in 1968, with a Woolworth's store as the main tenant. The second and third stages followed by 1970, and by 1974 the centre rivalled LynnMall in size. In 1997, St Lukes Group redeveloped the centre and renamed it WestCity Shopping Centre, a name Westfield kept (plus the standardised 'Westfield' prefix) after purchase of the property. In 2000, Westfield began a 16-month, $80 million redevelopment program. The result was the first "Street" entertainment and leisure precinct in New Zealand, launched at WestCity in July 2001. In a 2008 rating of New Zealand shopping centres by a RCG Retail, a retail expert group, Westfield WestCity received three out of four stars based on the criteria of amount of shopping area, economic performance, amenity and appeal as well as future growth prospects. The centre was renamed WestCity Waitakere after its sale to Angaet Group in 2017. Transport The mall is accessible via the adjacent Henderson railway station and multiple AT Metro bus services. It has a taxi stand on Railside Avenue and bike stands located around the mall. Facilities WestCity Waitakere has 130 stores across three floors, including an Event Cinemas cinema, a Woolworths supermarket and The Warehouse. It also has a multistorey car park with 1,492 spaces and a children's play area. See also List of shopping centres in New Zealand References External links WestCity Waitakere website
Westgate Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge

The Westgate Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge is a 209-metre-long (686 ft) motorway overbridge crossing the Northwestern Motorway near Westgate in Auckland, New Zealand. Construction began in late 2012 and was completed in January 2013. The three-metre-wide (9.8 ft) bridge caters for both pedestrians and cyclists, as well as mobility-impaired users. It was designed by Jasmax (architects) and Aurecon Consulting Engineers, and built by HEB Construction, and cost approximately $6 million, paid for by Auckland Transport and NZTA. The initial bridge works included work in the Manutewhau Walk Reserve on the eastern side of the bridge, including replacing pine trees with native trees. The bridge, along with the Clarks Lane Footbridge and the Beachcroft Footbridge, won a 2013 Resene Total Colour award. Initially, the main function is to provide a west–east connection for the local area, though in the long run, it is intended to link into a future extension of the Northwestern Cycleway up to the bridge. History It was initially approved in the mid 2008s, as a response to a 2004 death of an 11-year-old boy hit by a van while he was crossing the motorway, and in response to continued illegal crossing over the motorway of several dozen people daily, trying to avoid long detours in reaching the nearby shopping centre west of the motorway from the suburbs to the east. However, from the time to approval until construction start, it took another four years until funding was allocated.

Westhaven Marina

Westhaven Marina in Auckland, New Zealand, is the largest yacht marina in the Southern Hemisphere. The marina has nearly two thousand berths and swing moorings, and tends to be continually booked. Auckland, known as 'City of Sails', is generally known for its maritime passions. It is owned by Auckland Council, as successor to the Auckland City Council, which bought it from Ports of Auckland in 2004 for NZ$46 million. In 2008, it received its second-time-running international 'Blue Flag award' for its water quality, environmental management and safety standards. It is one of 640 marinas worldwide (and the only marina in New Zealand) to have received the award. Construction During the 1950s the foreshore of St. Mary's Bay disappeared under the approaches to the Auckland Harbour Bridge [opened 1959]. For over a century St Mary's Bay had been the location of several small commercial boatyards mixed in with the private moorings from houses set on the harbour cliffs above the bay. All these facilities were now to be cut off from the water. The Auckland Harbour Board planned to fill in Westhaven completely, but a group of local residents including engineers and architects donated their services to create Westhaven Marina, now one of Auckland's greatest assets. If not for this initiative, the entire area might have become a continuation of the Western Reclamation industrial waterfront areas to the east. Plans Council was proposing major works around the Marina for NZ$23 million up to 2011, though these were since deferred. This may include improved parks around the Auckland Harbour Bridge area, better footpaths and cycleways along Westhaven Drive and a Marine Village (with cafes and marine-related shops). Panuku Development Auckland is the council-controlled organisation tasked with the revitalisation of the city's waterfront, and its plans for the area were last updated in 2015.

Wigram Aerodrome

Wigram Aerodrome (IATA: N/A, ICAO: NZWG) – dawna baza lotnicza Królewskich Nowozelandzkich Sił Powietrznych, zlokalizowana w Christchurch (przemieście Wigram) na Wyspie Południowej w Nowej Zelandii. Jej nazwa pochodzi od nazwiska Sir Henry Francisa Wigrama, urodzonego w Wielkiej Brytanii nowozelandzkiego biznesmena, polityka i promotora lotnictwa, który w latach 1902–1904 był burmistrzem Christchurch. Pierwotnie była to baza wojskowej szkoły lotniczej RNZAF Central Flying School (CFS). Została zamknięta w 1995 r. w następstwie przeniesienia szkoły do bazy Ohakea. Oficjalne zamknięcie miało miejsce 14 września 1995 r. Po zamknięciu bazy lotnisko Wigram nadal działało i było wykorzystywane przez kilka różnych firm z sektora lotniczego, a zostało ostatecznie zamknięte w 2009 roku. Obecnie na północnym krańcu dawnego lotniska swoją siedzibę ma Muzeum Sił Powietrznych (Air Force Museum of New Zealand), które posiada m.in. kolekcję samolotów. Jest to jedno z dwóch takich muzeów w Nowej Zelandii. Od 1949 r. na pasach lotniska i drogach kołowania tworzono tymczasowy tor wyścigowy o długości 3 km. Zamknięcie lotniska 9 lipca 2008 w wiadomościach Television 3 podano informację, że plemię Ngai Tahu, właściciele lotniska (uzyskało do niego prawo na podstawie roszczeń związanych z naruszeniem traktatu Waitangi zamierzają zamknąć lotnisko do lutego 2009 r. Tereny lotniska miały zostać przeznaczone pod zabudowę mieszkalną. Nie naruszone miały zostać hangary i wieża kontroli lotów, objęte ochroną jako zabytki. Lotnisko Wigram oficjalnie zakończyło działalność 1 marca o godzinie 0:00 czasu lokalnego. W latach 2012–13 na zachodnim końcu trawiastego pasa startowego pojawiły się budynki mieszkalne. Na jego przeciwnym krańcu powstały obiekty przemysłowe.

William C Daldy

William C Daldy is a historic steam-powered tugboat operating on the Waitematā Harbour, in Auckland, New Zealand. Named after William Crush Daldy, an Auckland politician, she was built in 1935 and is still an active vessel, maintained by an enthusiast preservation society which charters her out for functions and cruises. History The tug was built in 1935 by Lobnitz & Company in Renfrew, Scotland for the Auckland Harbour Board. She has a bollard pull of about 17 tons, and is fired by two coal-burning boilers, making her one of the strongest such tugs still afloat. In 1958, she prevented one of the pre-assembled main sections of the Auckland Harbour Bridge (then just being constructed over the Waitematā Harbour) from being damaged or lost in a major storm. Strong winds had come up as a construction barge was floating the 1,200-ton structure section into place, and manoeuvring boats were unable to keep it under control. The William C Daldy took up station and kept up the pull for over 36 uninterrupted hours before the wind subsided, burning 40 tons of coal. The harbour board were intending in 1977 to dispose of the tug for scrapping, but she was instead leased in 1978 (and in 1989 purchased for $1) by an enthusiast organisation, the William C Daldy Preservation Society, which subsequently kept her in working trim, hiring her out for functions and charter cruises. Latterly the vessel was docked in Viaduct Harbour in Auckland city centre, though she had a number of berths around the harbour over time. In May 2023, it was revealed that, following a period of reduced income and maintenance during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently, the cost of survey and repairs to maintain her seaworthiness and certification to carry passengers in September would be about NZ$1 million, requiring urgent funding support.

Dunedin Railway Station

Het station van Dunedin (Nieuw-Zeeland) werd ontworpen door George Troup in Vlaamse-renaissance stijl. Door het ontwerp kreeg hij de bijnaam Gingerbread George, ofwel Peter Peperkoek. Het station werd in 1906 geopend door de premier van het land. In 1956 vond een restauratie van het gebouw plaats. De vloer van de hal was verzakt en werd vervangen door een betonnen vloer waarop de originele mozaïeken werden nagemaakt. Ook de klokkentoren werd gerestaureerd.
