Last week, we were proud to attend the official opening of Catherine Plaza, a transformative project in the heart of Henderson that strengthens the connection between the main street and WestCity Mall.
Urban Solutions was engaged to provide Project Management and Engineer to Contract services, supporting the delivery of a revitalised public space designed to be safer, more accessible and more inviting for the community.
The upgrade included new concrete and wetpour surfaces, a raised timber boardwalk, integrated custom seating, play elements, catenary lighting and native planting. Infrastructure improvements were also delivered, including renewed stormwater and wastewater assets, a new watermain and two rain gardens for stormwater treatment. Every element was carefully considered to balance functionality, resilience and placemaking outcomes, ensuring the space not only performs technically but also enhances the everyday urban experience.
Delivered in collaboration with Auckland Urban Development Office, mana whenua, the Local Board and key stakeholders, Catherine Plaza is a strong example of what can be achieved through partnership and a shared commitment to community-focused design.
✨ Together we create better places.

We’re proud to have been part of the official opening of Te Pae Mahara Roulston War Memorial Park — a project that celebrates thoughtful design, community spirit, and te ao Māori. 🌿
Guided by tikanga Māori, the opening ceremony was a beautiful way to honour the land, its history, and the partnerships that made this upgrade possible.
Urban Solutions provided social procurement services, project management and Engineer to Contract roles, working alongside Auckland Council’s Auckland Urban Development Office, mana whenua, Franklin Local Board, Bespoke Landscape Architects, and Lite Civil to bring this space to life.
The upgraded park includes new play areas, picnic and barbeque facilities, improved walkways, native planting, and mahi toi (artwork) gifted by mana whenua — a reflection of what can be achieved when we work together for our communities.
He waka eke noa — we are all in this together. 💚
Together we create better places.
