Westhaven Marina

[3] In 2008, it received its second-time-running international 'Blue Flag award' for its water quality, environmental management and safety standards.

[citation needed] The Auckland Harbour Board planned to fill in Westhaven completely, but a group of local residents including engineers and architects donated their services to create Westhaven Marina, now one of Auckland's greatest assets.

[citation needed] Council was proposing major works around the Marina for NZ$23 million up to 2011, though these were since deferred.

This may include improved parks around the Auckland Harbour Bridge area, better footpaths and cycleways along Westhaven Drive and a Marine Village (with cafes and marine-related shops).

[6] Panuku Development Auckland is the council-controlled organisation tasked with the revitalisation of the city's waterfront, and its plans for the area were last updated in 2015.
