In the second of the Jeremy Salmond Memorial Lecture Series heritage landscape architect Stephen Brown explores the history and future of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland’s volcanic landscape.
From isthmus cones and pā sites to 'The Sacred Footprints of Mataoho' in South Auckland, Stephen outlines the enduring fight to protect the city's volcanic viewshafts.
The talk covers the pivotal 1973 Planning Appeal Board decision over Maungawhau / Mt Eden, the formal protection of key sightlines to Tūpuna Maunga since 1975, and modern statutory challenges including the 2015 Unitary Plan, 2022's Plan Change 78, and the current PC120.
Discover why these sightlines remain critical to our city's identity.
