Wai Horotiu Queen Street Project

This consultation closed on 22 October 2021. Thank you for having your say.

What the consultation was about

Since mid 2020 Auckland Council and Auckland Transport have been gathering feedback from a wide range of community members on streetscape and network proposals on Wai Horotiu Queen Street.

Feedback received on Queen Street's northern section trial (between Customs Street and Shortland Street) showed support for removing private vehicles, improved access for cycling and micro mobility, and to get on with delivery.

In September, a complete design for the remainder of the project area was released along with ideas for how to achieve operational outcomes that will aid the transition to the City Centre Master Plan concept for Queen Street: a pedestrian priority transit street.

As a final step, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport sought public feedback on the following:

• Proposed network changes
• Whether private cars should be stopped from entering the EVA on a 24/7 basis or whether it should only be during defined times of the day
• A proposal for pedestrian malls in Fort Street, Vulcan Lane and Lorne Street and the designation of loading zones
