It's part of the John Key hydrology engineering plan.

But to call them heritage seems a real stretch?
According to heritage experts like the Historic Places Trust, they are. Working class heritage perhaps, but we haven't preserved much of that or anything else in this city.
If there's a proper planning process that decides to pull them down, I'm fine with that - just not that some uninformed bland tosser gets to make the decision because the cruise ship industry and RWC sponsors have whispered sweet nothings in his corporate ears.

Did you spot that the harbour views they're proclaiming will actually be blocked by two parked cruise ships? Unless they can make them conveniently transparent as in the artist's impression.
To say nothing of hurriedly knocking down more heritage buildings before integrated masterplanning is completed - because that respected urban design expert John Key declares they're rubbish.
And all to create a windswept plaza that removes people from existing alternatives and siphons revenue from loyal business ratepayers. I guess at least the cruise ships might act as good windblocks while enriching their foreign shareholders. Real ambitious.
