The City Centre Walking Tour has been developed to help you learn more about TCC's plans to get the heart of our city pumping, and see the various projects completed as well as those that are underway.
Highlights
Take in the more practical aspects of our city centre transformation including the new Tunks Reserve lookout connecting Elizabeth Street East to the waterfront. Check out the railway underpass and picture a waterfront where people can easily connect with the water and sea life, play at the destination playground and relax on the new green reserve.
The tour finishes off at the jewel of our city centre crown, Te Manawataki o Te Papa, featuring a civic whare (public meeting house), museum, library, community hub and exhibition centre.
Good to know
All up the tour covers just over 2 km, including some steps, so please ditch the high heels for more sensible walking shoes. You may want to pack sunblock, a hat (or umbrella) and your water bottle. The tour meets outside the iSite in Red Square and finishes up at Baycourt, lasting approximately 1hr 30mins.
Stay for a Catch Up!
Following the morning tour, make sure you stick around for a coffee catch-up in the CBD (location TBC). In the evening, unwind with fellow investors over a drink at a CBD bar (location TBC).
