The landscape and urban design master plan proposes site specific treatments to infrastructure and landscape components to signify this area as the gateway to Manukau city and contribute to the series of gateway elements that punctuate the journey along State Highway 1 to Auckland. Concepts for these solutions are driven by references to the cultural make up and natural history of Manukau, including its volcanic origins. References are made to historic vegetation patterns, or the site, and to charismatic remnants of vegetation seen in and around the Auckland region.
