Boffa Miskell's initial project brief consisted of landscape design services to support council approval process and implementation of the streetscapes, substantial stormwater management and treatment infrastructure, and other elements within the park. We also supported with the development of a cultural masterplan for the Park, working closely with Quayside Holdings and Tapuika Iwi Authority to ensure meaningful outcomes were achieved, cultural expression elements were designed and appropriately located.

Due to the large site, and the pace and scale of the works being undertaken, there was a need to ensure that all parties maintained strong communication lines and a focus on outcomes and solutions. The earthworks, civil infrastructure construction and planting contracts were implemented concurrently, and collaboration and close coordination was critical in ensuring that timeframes were met and expected outcomes were achieved.

Boffa Miskell's involvement quickly expanded to include wider design and urban design services, ecological consulting and fieldwork, construction supervision, contract management and MSQA services, and more. The Boffa Miskell team works closely with Harrison Grierson as Engineering partners on the project.

From the outset, Rangiuru Business Park has been intended to be an exemplar project for delivering quality outcomes through sustainable and responsible design practices. The project developer is committed to low impact/green stormwater infrastructure and quality urban built form, along with a focus on meaningful cultural and ecological outcomes to attract businesses that align with these values and that will bring long-lasting economic opportunities and employment for the region.

Boffa Miskell is ideally suited to support this project and our client with a broad base of technical knowledge and collaborative experience from the wider team across landscape design, ecology, urban design, cultural and landscape planning disciplines.
