Increasing our parkland
Freemans Park is taking up a rare opportunity to expand and reshape its park-like grounds, thanks to Auckland Council’s decision to buy 11 flood-prone units, which are likely to be demolished.
Mid-century modern signage and additional building numbers
Freemans Park’s ageing and damaged signage has been replaced with new mid-century modern signs, which are designed to improve wayfinding, operations and transport knowledge – and reinforce our identity.
Basements upgraded and repurposed
Basements in all 14-unit star blocks have been cleared and transformed into secure electrical and storage hubs.
Safely working at heights
Freemans Park is strengthening its working at heights safety systems, with roof anchors, annual certification, permit controls and specialist training being introduced. The programme supports safe roof access and long-term maintenance works.
Electrical upgrade works
A comprehensive electrical infrastructure upgrade is being accelerated across Freemans Park to reduce safety risks. Here’s what works are planned, how they are funded, and what owners may need to do.
Renovating the office hub for the next 60 years
The former office and storage space at the rear of 81 Beresford St West is being renovated to better support our cleaners, contractors and governance meetings. Here’s how the upgraded hub will function and why it matters long-term.
Tree uplighting project
Following positive feedback from the initial trial, additional tree uplighting will now be installed across the site’s interior dark zones. The project enhances night-time safety while showcasing the park’s landscape.
