Kia ora,
Congratulations to everyone who, despite the weather, took part in the recent Auckland Marathon. Hopefully, everyone has dried off, stretched out the muscle cramps, and can look back on their experience and achievements fondly.
Speaking of achievements, the waterfront has recently seen some of its new spaces become award-winning public places, read on below to find out which waterfront spots have had their time in the limelight.
And it's not just public spaces that receive awards in Wynyard Quarter, soon some wonderfully wacky flying machines will be vying for a podium place in the 2022 Red Bull Flugtag competition. This free event is not to be missed, and will provide a lot of entertainment for both those on land and those who end up in the water.
We hope you have a great November ahead!

Award-winning public spaces
It has been a bountiful award season for the waterfront this year.
In October, two waterfront projects were celebrated as award winners at recent industry award ceremonies – the Design Institute of New Zealand Best Awards and the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects (NZILA) awards.
Tank Park received a Gold Pin from the Best Awards, and it also won an Excellence Award alongside Amey Daldy Park at the NZILA awards.
Thanks to everyone who has worked on bringing these new public spaces in Wynyard Quarter to life.
Red Bull Flugtag to take flight in Wynyard Quarter
Red Bull Flugtag, the German word for 'flight day', will be hosted in Wynyard Quarter for the first time ever this December.
After being postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions, Aucklanders can now prepare for a day of high-adrenaline action, with Red Bull Flugtag taking place on Saturday, 10 December 2022, from midday.
As the translation suggests, Flugtag is a day of flying – well, kind of. Over 30 teams will be switching aeroplane mode on and launching their homemade flying machines off a six-metre-high ramp across Jellicoe Harbour.
The aim of the game is to fly as far as possible before landing in the water below, much to the enjoyment of the crowd.
This is a free, family-friendly day and the best viewing will be from along North Wharf, Halsey Wharf or in the event zone on the bases north of Silo Park.
We hope to see you there!
