Integrating a buried water reservoir within Wellington’s Town Belt.
Wellington Water sought to construct and operate a new water reservoir within the Wellington Town Belt. This required a sympathetic response to this sensitive area of open space.
Boffa Miskell landscape architects and ecologists worked with Wellington Water to assess and design a buried reservoir concept which would ensure this becomes integrated within its vegetated and open space context. This included the development of virtual reality visualisations to assist the Omāroro Prince of Wales Reservoir project through community engagement.
