The 2009 Master Plan addresses the key issue faced by the ABG, the absence of a comprehensive structure. The lack of overall integration and clear orientation through the Gardens meant that most visitors did not fully experience all that the Gardens had to offer.
The Master Plan solves the circulation woes, providing a robust framework that enhances the site’s unique identity and improves the legibility. The plan embraces the Gardens’ vision of “a spectacular South Pacific Botanic Garden that is widely recognised for its outstanding plant collections, Auckland regional identity and the interest inspired in the community.”
