Auckland waterfront plan, number?

It's official! I am suffering from an attack of deja vu.

This is the latest idea. The only difference is this time it is for Queens Wharf, home of Jap imports (cars) and ripening bananas.

This time ideas include a cruise ship terminal a public park and perhaps - you guessed it- a stadium.

The cruise ship terminal isn't such a bad idea on the face of it. Sometimes cruise ships are tied up on Queens Wharf when Prince's Wharf is occupied.
That's right. Auckland already has a terminal for cruise ships. Although the public have pretty much be intimidated off Prince's Wharf since some bright spark filled it with apartments and a swanky hotel. No water view through an apartment block is there.

Then there is the park idea.
I am not sure how well used a windy water mounted park will be so all I can beg for is; please not another viaduct basin!
One row of restaurants and shops too expensive for most Aucklanders to walk past and a big shade free baking sun trap of on a square of fancy concrete is enough. One of the kids went down there on the school trip to eat their packed lunch. As a result there are now 80 odd children and a dozen adults who don't wish to visit the place ever again. Besides isn't Freeman's Bay going to be redeveloped as a park? Just how many reclamation/wharf based parks does one city need in a mile of coast line?

As for the stadium - haven't we had this argument already?
