Capturing the significant history, values, and narratives of Te Nukutai o Tapoa for authentic expression within a waterfront development.
In 2019, Boffa Miskell was engaged by the Christchurch City Council to work with Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke to develop a design guide and Cultural Narrative Report (CNR) for the Te Nukutai o Tapoa | Naval Point area located at the edge of Whakaraupō | Lyttelton Harbour.
This came as a response to the Lyttelton Masterplan (2012) and subsequent Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan/Te Mahere Whakarauora i te Pūaha o Ōhinenou (2015) in which Ngāti Wheke were recognised as critical partners in the future development of Whakaraupō.
