BTW is supporting the transformation of New Plymouth’s city centre through its involvement in the West End Crossing project, a key urban design initiative for Ngāmotu New Plymouth. Utilising the surrounding galleries and eateries, the purpose of the design was to bring people into the space, as a gateway to re-enlivening the centre of New Plymouth township and promoting key tourist attractions. The project forms part of the wider City Centre Strategy’s “Green Links” concept, strengthening pedestrian connections between key destinations across the city centre.
Working alongside design lead and landscape architect Isthmus, BTW delivered survey and services identification, QS, and full civil engineering design services to support both the urban design vision and long-term infrastructure resilience.
The works include renewal of underground three waters infrastructure alongside roading upgrades and pedestrian safety improvements. Delivering these upgrades together improves project efficiency while ensuring the infrastructure beneath the street supports the future needs of the city.
The project also incorporates water sensitive design approaches, helping manage stormwater in a way that supports environmental outcomes while contributing to the quality and character of the public realm.
Construction has now begun, marking the next stage in creating a revitalised and more accessible west end of the city centre.
We’re proud to support New Plymouth District Council and the wider project team in shaping the future of the city centre.
