Scott Point
When it came to creating a master plan for Scott Point Sustainable Sports Park in West Auckland a complete shift in thinking was required by landscape architects Catherine Hamilton and Ben Taylor. The pair from WSP Opus needed to come up with innovative design that considered sustainability principles such as minimising waste, emissions and resource consumption at every step of the design process, from the overall site arrangement to the selection of materials. The design was developed in collaboration with mana whenua and stakeholders.
“As Auckland’s, and New Zealand’s, first sustainable park it’s a pilot for the way Auckland Council will consider the design and management of other parks in the future,” Ben Taylor says.
