This week­end, if you can tear your­self away from free bacon sarnies and aren’t too busy hav­ing a bit of a look-see behind the scenes of Wel­ling­ton’s art power­houses, pop into the Over­seas Pas­sen­ger Ter­min­al to get a glimpse of its pro­posed trans­form­a­tion.

Proposed redevelopment of the OPT - from the northeastThere will be a pub­lic open day on Sat­urday from 10am to 3pm, fea­tur­ing plans, draw­ings, present­a­tions and a scale mod­el. You will be able to dis­cuss the pro­pos­al with the design­ers (Ath­field Archi­tects), and there will be present­a­tions at 10:30am and 1pm. This is the first stage of the pub­lic feed­back pro­cess for this pro­pos­al and oth­er water­front devel­op­ments, and you have until the 9th of June to sub­mit your opin­ions and sug­ges­tions (a tiki bar, per­haps?). There’s more inform­a­tion avail­able in the On the Water­front news­let­ter and concept design pro­pos­al (344kB PDF), and I’ve got more images and a lot of opin­ion­ated thoughts over at Wel­lUrb­an.
