1.0 Introduction
The site
Kupe South Reserve is a small neighbourhood reserve
located within the Ōrākei Local Board area . The reserve is
accessed off Kepa Road and Kupe Street. It is dominated
by the Ōrākei Tennis Club’s facilities, and also contains
a small playground, car parking, paths, vegetation and
green open spaces.
Project scope
The project scope includes the whole of Kupe South
Reserve and Nehu Triangle. The development plan will
include:
• analysis of the subject site and the wider environment
• analysis and assessment of options for the location
of the playground and car parking areas within the
reserve. The car park and playground are condition
rated 3 and 4 respectively and are currently up for
renewal,
• address safety issues through Crime Prevention
through Environmental Design (CPTED).
This information will inform the resulting masterplan
which aims to optimise the parks major assets in relation
to the community’s needs.
The development plan will act as a catalyst and guide for
any future upgrade and renewals projects located within
the reserve in the short to medium term (+/- 10 years).
Process
The adjacent diagram shows the process involved in the
creation of this development plan.
A series of pre-design workshops were held with key
stakeholders through March and April 2017, with the aim
to clearly scope the project and identify the full range of
issues, opportunities and constraints on the site. A list of
stakeholders and the key feedback from these sessions is
available in section 7.0 of this document.
Following the development of the draft masterplan
another round of consultation will be carried out to
receive feedback on the plan prior to adoption.

Existing land uses
Kupe South Reserve is a small neighbourhood reserve
with an overall area of 1.08ha. The reserve is largely
landlocked with two primary entrances/exits. Vehicle
access is provided off Kupe Street, and pedestrian
access off Kepa Road and Kupe Street. A second narrow
pedestrian path (grassed path) connects the northern
end of the reserve to an alleyway that runs between
Reihana Street to Kupe Street.
The Ōrākei Tennis Club facilities dominate the central
portion of the reserve. The tennis club has been located
on Kupe Reserve since 1947. At its opening it had two
asphalt courts and a wooden clubhouse. The club now has
seven floodlit courts and a large two-storey clubhouse
building. The club were granted a 10 year community
lease commencing 1 September 2016. The tennis club
lease area is shown on the following map.
Two green open spaces are located to the west and north
of the tennis courts. The western area is relatively flat
and contains a small, run-down playground. The northern
open space slopes away towards the property boundary.
These spaces are partially connected by a gravel path
running along the northern tennis court boundary. A
sealed pedestrian path also runs from Kepa Road to the
Ōrākei Tennis Club.
Planting is concentrated around the property boundaries
and consists of dense trees and shrub planting. Some
low shrub planting borders the south-eastern corner of
the tennis courts and trees line the pedestrian entrance
off Kepa Road. A tall, dense windbreak flanks the south-
western edge of the three western tennis courts.
Car parking is located beside the clubhouse building
(approx 7/8 parks), and a gobi-block area of overflow
parking is located in the south-eastern corner of the site.
Surrounding land uses
The reserve is surrounded by housing along its
northern, western and eastern boundaries. Housing
is a combination of small apartment buildings, single
dwellings and duplexes, and a large proportion of these
are Housing New Zealand owned. The reserve is flanked
by a number of community and commercial facilities
along Kepa Road, these being St James Anglican Church,
a Z petrol station and the Ōrākei Community Centre.
Ōrākei Plunket is located at 16 Kupe Street beside the
entrance to the reserve, and the Ōrākei Presbyterian
Church and childcare centre is located on the reserve’s
western boundary.
A small neighbourhood shopping centre and associated
car parking area is located on the corner of Kupe Street
and Kepa Road, across the road from the reserve.
The Nehu Triangle is a open grassed site with trees. It
measures 0.34ha in size and is surrounded by Kepa Road,
Nehu Road and Coates Avenue.
Given the dominance of Housing New Zealand (HNZ)
properties flanking the site, as well as the awkward shape
of the reserve, HNZ were approached to see if there was
any opportunity for a joint redevelopment project. For
the time being however, this area is not on the HNZ
project list.

Key Design Features:
• Large central public plaza – a community ‘heart’ with planting, seating, paving, lighting, and artworks. Social spaces for interaction.
• Creating a ‘sense of place’ through artworks, native planting, low stone walls, street trees, paving design etc. Expressing and celebrating the local culture through the design elements.
• Improved pedestrian access and connectivity in, around, and through the area (includes new pedestrian crossings, improved access to public transport and bicycle parking).
• Clear vehicle circulation and entry/exit points to Kupe St and car parking.
• Improved visibility and definition of neighbourhood centre area.
• Improved pedestrian connectivity to Kupe Reserve.
• Potential to upgrade Kupe Reserve to better serve local community (youth activities area/upgrade playground).
• Address CPTED issues within Kupe Reserve to make it a safer, more attractive public space (formalise footpaths, remove areas of vegetation, additional lighting etc).
• Allowing for future economic development and growth for surrounding properties.

Proposed public plaza – the new public space will feature new paving, areas of planting, artworks, and seating. There will be spill-put space provided in front of businesses to allow for outdoor seating. The large open space will allow for various community activities including markets, performances, special gatherings and exhibitions. The large public space responds to the needs of the local community and creates an attractive and safe neighbourhood ‘heart’

The following plan is a Preliminary Design Concept is
taken from the Kepa Road / Kupe Street Urban Design
Concept Report (by GHD, August 2013).
The primary focus of this report was to provide high level
urban design opportunities for the Kepa Road / Kupe
Street shopping area, however Kupe South Reserve has
been addressed as part of the design concept due to its
proximity to the shopping area. This plan proposes that
the main playspace is located in its current location, and
proposes an addtional youth-focused playspace within
the northern open space.
This document is in agreement around the location
of the main playspace to the west of the courts (refer
section 7.0), however it proposes to retain the northern
area as passive open space due to its steep contouring,
and to incorporate additional youth activities (basketball
half courts etc) into the main play space.

6.0 Surrounding public playground and youth space provision
The playground at Kupe South Reserve is in a poor
condition. It recently had its T-bar swings removed for
safety reasons. It contains a small junior module and a
see-saw. It is condition rated 4 and is up for renewal.
The playgrounds closest to Kupe South Reserve are Kupe
North Reserve and Patteson Avenue Reserve. These
are both small neighbourhood playgrounds and were
renewed in 2015. Larger playgrounds are located at both
Okahu Park, Ōrākei Domain and at Selwyn Reserve in
Mission Bay. These four playgrounds typically cater to
the 3-12 year age group. A fitness park has also recently
been opened at the eastern end of Selwyn Reserve.
This map shows that there are no other playgrounds
within a 5 minute walk of Kupe South Reserve. Kupe
South Reserve is the closest park/playground to both St
Josephs School and Ōrākei School, as well as the adjacent
Plunket and community centre.
Much closer to the subject site there are a number of
smaller playgrounds (the majority of which are located
on private property):
• A small module within the Ōrākei Tennis Club. This
equipment is fully fenced and is not available for
public use,
• Playday Childcare Centre adjoining the Ōrākei
Presbyterian Church on the corner of Reihana Street
and Coates Ave,
• Ōrākei Plunket at 14 Kupe Street has a small
playground at the rear of its site.
These playgrounds are mentioned should the possibility
of a public/private partnership become possible.
Due to the proximity of Kupe South Reserve to both
Ōrākei School and St Josephs School, the Ōrākei
Community Centre, Ōrākei Plunket and the local shops it
is recommended the the existing playground be renewed
on site.

STAKEHOLDER CURRENT RESERVE USE ISSUES OPPORTUNITIES
Housing New Zealand • LANDLOCKED SITE: Poor street presence • IMPROVED STREET PRESENCE: potential for a land swap investigated to open up the park street frontage- this option is not possible in the short term but should be investigated should HNZ land adjacent to the reserve be developed in the future
Ōrākei Community Centre
• PARKING: parking within reserve used as extra car parking for the community centre
• Tennis club are the primary users of the reserve during the day
• SAFETY: safety for children who walk through the reserve along the back of the tennis club
• PLAY PROVISION: Lack of activities for children at the reserve
• SITE VISIBILITY: Site hidden from the street, no one knows it is there and can’t see people using the reserve, also a lack of signage
• PLAY PROVISION: new/upgraded playground and open recreational space
• VEGETATION: inclusion of fruit trees and food forest, and rain water collection
• CONNECTIONS: Opportunity to improve the openness and flow between the reserve and centre
Ōrākei Tennis Club • PARKING: currently used to capacity- at busy periods there is not enough parking within the reserve
• ACCESS: used a thoroughfare for school students and local walkers
• PLAY: the play equipment within the tennis court boundary is primarily used by younger siblings during kids lessons - not available for public use
• OSH: existing mature trees to the north of the courts shade the courts and make them slippery in winter
• LIGHTING: no lighting to alleyway to the rear of the tennis club (this access is frequently used until 10pm in summer) - many members are locals who walk to the club
• LANDLOCKED SITE: Poor street presence
• SAFETY: History of break ins and robberies
• PLAY: Would oppose the relocation of the playground to the overflow parking area due to loss of parking capacity
• VEGETATION: remove/thin out vegetation that shades the courts to reduce risk of slipping
• trim the top of the windbreak trees to south of courts to open up sight lines within the site
• LIGHTING: light key pedestrian routes through reserve to increase safety for reserve users
St James Anglican Church
• Do not currently use the reserve very much
• PLAYGROUND: does not appear to receive high use, has poor visibility from the road
• Vandalism and rubbish dumping
• SAFETY: Visibility/surveillance/perceived lack of safety
• ACCESS: Kepa Road is very busy, hard road to get out onto (vehicles exiting from church car park)
• VEGETATION: possibility of removing vegetation along northern boundary and replacing with low fencing to decrease the current ‘corridor effect’
• LOCATION: reserve is in a strategic location, and could be developed as a meeting/ gathering place for the different local communities and cultures to meet (marae/church/community)
Ōrākei Presbyterian Church
• PLAYGROUND: children from our church use playground sometimes, particularly on Sundays. Kindy children also use it sometimes. We notice children that live in surrounding properties using playground.
• COMMUNITY GARDEN: great resource, we like this, and use it sometimes.
• COMMUNITY DAYS: We use park for church community days.
• VIEW SHAFTS: properties facing Reihana Street are too close to each other.
• CHURCH KINDY: children sleep during the day so are sensitive to noise. They also have their own play facilities.
• VEGETATION: remove dense shelter belt hedge and thin trees on northern slope, blocking view to harbour.
• DRAINAGE: poor drainage and boggy grass.
• SAFETY: Traffic safety concerns with surrounding busy roads.
• VIEW SHAFTS: nice that there are views out to the street through spacious Housing NZ properties. We also like having the open space to look out to at Nehu Triangle.
• CHURCH KINDY: children may use the playground if it was better. The teacher takes them to park sometimes.
• SAFETY: feel safe letting our children play there as it is enclosed, traffic safe, and close to our church. There are nice people in the surrounding properties.
• PLAYGROUND: want a playground like Kupe North Reserve.
A series of pre-concept scoping workshops were held in
March and April with the following groups in order to
clarify the scope of the project and identify existing site
issues and opportunities:
• Internal council staff
• Ōrākei Local Board
• Mana Whenua
• Eastern Bays Network
A group of key stakeholders were also identified,
consisting of landowners or community facilities located
adjacent to the reserve, and groups with a vested interest
in its development. These parties were consulted with
directly and were asked the following questions:
1. How do you or your organisation currently use the
reserve?
2. In your observation how is the reserve currently used
and by who (ages, activities, times of day)?
3. Can you identify any specific issues with the reserve
(stormwater, safety, parking, play provision)?
4. Can you identify any opportunities to improve the
future use of the reserve? How could the reserve be
better used or enhanced?
5. Any other comments?
Key stakeholder feedback and a summary of consultation
themes are shown on the following table.
Auckland Council . Kupe South Reserve Development Plan | DRAFT FOR CONSULTATION | 17
STAKEHOLDER CURRENT RESERVE USE ISSUES OPPORTUNITIES
Plunket • Barely use the reserve
• PLAYGROUND: not well known about, too tucked away.
• Notice that mostly only tennis club members use the reserve.
• PLAYGROUND: older children are too big for the playground.
• PARKING: Not much available.
• PLAYGROUND: If it was better then maybe mothers and babies/ toddlers would use it.
Ōrākei Strategic Broker
• Sporadic low use park.
• People walking through park and tennis club members are the biggest users.
• DRAINAGE: poor drainage and boggy grass, particularly around playground. Potential hazard.
• COMMUNITY GARDEN: not a fan.
• VEGETATION: trees on north slope are dense, but are a privacy belt for neighbours, and are also potentially keeping slope stable. Check trees with Simon Cook. Are blocking view though. Dense shelter fence to be removed.
• TENNIS COURTS FENCE: reconsider this, take down barbed wire fence. Debate over who is responsibility it is, needs maintenance.
• RECREATION: a good running route.
• PARKING: overflow parking should be turned into a proper paved parking area.
• NEHU TRIANGLE: prefer to leave this alone.
• ACCESSIBILITY: hidden from street, make better entrances, more pedestrian friendly. Plunket building currently impacting on site.
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei (NWO)
• NWO interest in this park as lead Mana Whenua in this project
• PLAY: Opportunity for a well designed/safe playground for tamariki
• CONNECTIONS: Opportunity to create good and safe connections for cyclists and pedestrians through the site
• STREET PRESENCE: Provision of clear signage and features that can attract more users, including marking the entrances
• RECOGNITION: of NWO as mana whenua ie via interpretative signage and cultural design elements
• VEGETATION: Recognise and use bio-diversity and native plantings within the project
Key consultation themes
Current reserve use:
• General consensus amongst stakeholders that - aside from use of the tennis club facilities- the reserve is currently under utilised
• Most common user group identified as people
walking or running through the reserve
Existing site issues:
• Landlocked site
• Drainage, boggy lawn
• Safety: history of break-ins and vandalism
• Vegetation: blocks views across site and out to the wider environment
• Playground: In run-down condition but agreement that if this facility was improved this would receive
higher use
Opportunities:
Opportunity to activate the site through:
• Upgrading playground and recreational facilities - particularly for older children
• Strengthening pedestrian and cycling connections to and through the site
• Increasing amenity and safety of park users through vegetation improvements
• Improving street presence through clearer marking of
entrances
This feedback has been analysed and used to inform the
masterplan.

9.0 Design principles
Auckland Council . Kupe South Reserve Development Plan | DRAFT FOR CONSULTATION | 19
Enhancing the reserve for peaceful respite
Improving connectivity to and around Kupe South Reserve
Improving the reserve as a recreation destination
Creating safe, people friendly, community orientated places
A number of CPTED (crime prevention through environmental design) concerns have been identified within the current reserve, exacerbated because of its landlocked nature. The reserve has poor visibility from the street and sightlines within the reserve are partially obscured by overgrown vegetation and the tennis courts.
Proposals:
• investigate installing lighting to primary pedestrian routes to improve safety for those using the reserve and tennis courts after dark
• crown lift trees and clear tall shrubs that can be used as hiding places to alleviate safety concerns. New shrub planting should grow no higher than 1m to maintain clear sightlines
• ensure boundary fencing is kept low (1.2m high maximum) to maintain passive surveillance of the reserve
• trim windbreak trees to open up views across the site
The two open green spaces within the reserve are currently undeveloped and there is no site furniture within the reserve. There is an opportunity to enhance and encourage the use of the reserve for rest/ respite through the installation of a suite of furniture and amenity planting.
Proposals:
• maintain a balance of open grass areas for passive recreation
• introduce shade/specimen trees to open lawn areas to improve amenity
• provide site furniture to accommodate and encourage the use of the park as a picnicing, gathering space
• ensure proposed site furniture is cohesive and consistent
• clear planting in strategic locations to open up views towards the Waitematā Harbour
• manage and clear weeds and invasive pest plants
• select native species for new and replacement plantings
The reserve has poor street presence due to its landlocked nature. In addition, the existing pedestrian connections throughout the reserve are unconnected and disjointed. Improving the reserve entrances and the pedestrian and cycling connections within the reserve would encourage higher use of this space. There is also an opportunity to investigate strengthening the interface between the community facilities that back onto the reserve.
Proposals:
• improve the legibility of the Kepa Road and Kupe Street entrances to enhance the street presence of the reserve
• implement the section of the Ōrākei Greenways Plan that the runs through the reserve to encourage more use of the reserve as a thoroughfare
• investigate opening up the community centre and the St James Anglican Church onto the reserve to increase park activation and passive surveillance
• create a looped pedestrian path connecting the sites key open spaces
• Ensure safe and legible pedestrian and cyclist priority at reserve entry points and throughout the reserve
The playground is currently in a poor condition and up for renewal. It currently caters to preschool aged children. The area where the playground is located has drainage issues
Proposals:
• Upgrade the playground so it is more attractive and appeals to a wider range of children
• Investigate the introduction of additional recreational activities to the reserve to cater to a wider range of users
• encourage use of the reserve for walking, cycling and jogging through the introduction of a legible path network
• improve drainage to solve stormwater problems
The key objective of the development plan is to activate the reserve and attract a wider range of users to the space. To this end the following design principles have also been identified as guiding principles:
20
10.0 Draft concept plan options
Address boundary treatment to improve the interaction and connections between community centre and reserve
Bollards to restrict vehicle access beyond this point
Remove hedge planting to rear of church and replace
with low fencing to increase passive surveillance and reduce
the ‘tunnel’ effect of existing vegetation
Possible trail through existing bush
Shared space /street forms the central spine of the site and gives pedestrians and cyclists priority
Recommend that greenway is re-routed to follow and the primary circulation route through the site
Possible inclusion of fitness stations on looped path
Clear vegetation to improve sightlines and retain as a grass path for secondary/informal pedestrian access
NEHU TRIANGLE
OPTION A: Minor changes to the status quo
RECOMMENDED OPTION
Auckland Council . Kupe South Reserve Development Plan | DRAFT FOR CONSULTATION | 21
Address boundary treatment to improve the interaction and connections between community centre and reserve
Upgrade Kepa Road entrance
Alternative car parking locationShared space /street forms the central spine of the site and gives pedestrians and cyclists priority
Lighting to primary pedestrian path
Creation of looped pedestrian path
Key issues with Option B:• creates a vehicle dominant environment with
potential pedestrian safety concerns
• increased amount of hard surfacing
• loss of areas of passive open space / green space
• reduced ability to integrate playground into wider park environment
• playground has poor visibility
• playground would require full fencing
OPTION B: Relocated car parking and playground

Rakino IslandRakino is a small island, measuring approximately 146 hectares; the island is 2.4 kilometres long and 1.2 kilometres wide. The hilly topography is comprised of three layers; a foundation of greywacke rock, then a thick mantle of clay soil, and then fi nal layer of fertile of volcanic topsoil from Rangitoto. The island vegetation is mostly pasture with pockets of coastal Pohutuakawa.
There are approximately 76 dwellings on Rakino island (mainly holiday accommodation). The population of approximately 16 Rakino Island residents enjoy the privacy and isolation of the islands location. The residents are largely self-suffi cient, generating their own electricity, collecting rainwater and treating septic waste on-site. The lifestyle on Rakino Island is unique, in that it provides basic island living whist still in close proximity to a large city – Auckland.
Public beach access is restricted to Sandy Bay, Home Bay and Woody Bay (accessed via Jane York Place). There are no shops on Rakino Island.
Keep Rakino Island pest-free
Rakino Island is part of the joint initiative between Department of Conservation and Auckland Council, to help protect the islands in the Hauraki Gulf. Rakino Island is one of the few islands in New Zealand that is pest-free, with no possums, rats, pigs, goats and rabbits, providing a safe haven for many of our rarest and most endangered birds, animals and plants.
To help preserve the environment, please check your boat and gear for:
• rats• mice • Argentine ants
• Rainbow skinks• soil and seeds
The following are strictly prohibited on the island:
• open fi res• camping
• littering
Please respect private property.
Report any sighting of pests to: 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468)
We appreciate your efforts in helping keep Rakino pest-free. We trust you will enjoy your visit to Rakino Island.
Rakino Island historySir George Grey, Governor of New Zealand, bought Rakino in 1862. Grey had been looking to acquire an island where he could escape the pressures of public offi ce. Grey also had an interest in the acclimatisation of plants and animals, and an island would enable him to have a high level of control over this process. Grey initially started building a house on Home Bay on Rakino Island, but soon abandoned his plans when Kawau came up for sale.
In 1874, Albert Sanford leased the island from Sir George Grey before eventually purchasing it outright. Sanford, and later this descendants, would occupy Rakino for nearly 80 years. Albert Sanford was one of the founders of the Auckland Commercial fi shing fl eet. His company started on Rakino Island in 1881, and he sold fi sh on the wharf at the bottom of Queen Street, Auckland. The family home he built still stands today in Home Bay. It was constructed using Kauri logs rafted from Mercury Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula.
In 1963, the island was bought by Dr Maxwell Rickard, president of the UPO (United people’s Organisation (Worldwide Incorporated)), with the aim of setting up a philanthropic community. The plan for the island included a clinic for disturbed and nervous patients, an international orphanage, a refuge for unmarried mothers and homes for the elderly. However, these plans did not eventuate and the island was subdivided in 1965 into 25 blocks of 10 acres (40,000m2) and 125 smaller pieces of land, which sold for between 2500 and 6000 pounds.

Rakino IslandRakino is a small island, measuring approximately 146 hectares; the island is 2.4 kilometres long and 1.2 kilometres wide. The hilly topography is comprised of three layers; a foundation of greywacke rock, then a thick mantle of clay soil, and then fi nal layer of fertile of volcanic topsoil from Rangitoto. The island vegetation is mostly pasture with pockets of coastal Pohutuakawa.
There are approximately 76 dwellings on Rakino island (mainly holiday accommodation). The population of approximately 16 Rakino Island residents enjoy the privacy and isolation of the islands location. The residents are largely self-suffi cient, generating their own electricity, collecting rainwater and treating septic waste on-site. The lifestyle on Rakino Island is unique, in that it provides basic island living whist still in close proximity to a large city – Auckland.
Public beach access is restricted to Sandy Bay, Home Bay and Woody Bay (accessed via Jane York Place). There are no shops on Rakino Island.

Rakino Island historySir George Grey, Governor of New Zealand, bought Rakino in 1862. Grey had been looking to acquire an island where he could escape the pressures of public offi ce. Grey also had an interest in the acclimatisation of plants and animals, and an island would enable him to have a high level of control over this process. Grey initially started building a house on Home Bay on Rakino Island, but soon abandoned his plans when Kawau came up for sale.
In 1874, Albert Sanford leased the island from Sir George Grey before eventually purchasing it outright. Sanford, and later this descendants, would occupy Rakino for nearly 80 years. Albert Sanford was one of the founders of the Auckland Commercial fi shing fl eet. His company started on Rakino Island in 1881, and he sold fi sh on the wharf at the bottom of Queen Street, Auckland. The family home he built still stands today in Home Bay. It was constructed using Kauri logs rafted from Mercury Bay on the Coromandel Peninsula.
In 1963, the island was bought by Dr Maxwell Rickard, president of the UPO (United people’s Organisation (Worldwide Incorporated)), with the aim of setting up a philanthropic community. The plan for the island included a clinic for disturbed and nervous patients, an international orphanage, a refuge for unmarried mothers and homes for the elderly. However, these plans did not eventuate and the island was subdivided in 1965 into 25 blocks of 10 acres (40,000m2) and 125 smaller pieces of land, which sold for between 2500 and 6000 pounds.
