RIVER-CITY_ CHAMBER GROWTHTHIS DEVELOPMENT OF RIVER-CITY_ CHAMBER GROWTH: FOCUSES FOCUSES ON THE EXISTING CHARACTERS OF THE SITE. THE FOCUS WAS DRAWN TO RETAIN THE ECOLOGICAL PROCESSORS CONTAINED IN THE WIDER CONTEXT OF THE SITE IN PARTICULAR THE RIVER HEAD FOREST- GREEN HEART AS IT IS REVERED TO IN PROJECT ONE. AS THIS SITE IS BOARDED BY THE MAIN WATER SYSTEM BEING THE DIRECT LINKAGE TO THE RIVERHEAD FOREST -GREEN HEART, THERE WAS A MAJOR PRIORITY IN CAPTURING AND LIFTING THESE TYPES OF AMENITIES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAPTURING AND LIFTING THESE TYPES OF AMENITIES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT TWO- THE WATER WAYS BECAME THE LINKING CORRIDORS OF THE SITE AND FURTHERING THE CONNECTIONS ACROSS TO THE WIDER EXTENTS. THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT- RIVERCITY_ CHAMBER GROWTH; LOOKS AT IDENTIFYING THE LANDSCAPE CHARACTERS AND CREATING A DESIGN THROUGH THIS PROCESS, BY NOT ALTERING THE EXISTING COMMUNITY AND CULTURALELEMENTS OF THE OLD TOWN- RIVERHEAD. AS THE WATER SYSTEMS ARE AN IMPORTANT ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF RIVER-CITY DEVELOPMENT, THERE ARE A FEW ‘CUES FOR CARE’ THAT MUST BE TAKEN IN ORDER TO KEEP THIS LEVEL OF INTEGRITY- STORM WATER TREATMENT PROCESSORS WERE IMPLEMENTED IN ORDER TO KEEP THIS LEVEL OF INTEGRITY- STORM WATER TREATMENT PROCESSORS WERE IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE USE OF BUFFER SYSTEMS WHICH ALSO FUNCTION AS A RAIN GARDEN AT THE TOP OF EACHWATER SYSTEM. THE CORE IS A WATER TREATMENT ZONE AND THE OUTER BUFFER SYSTEMS PROTECTSFROM EROSION OF THE STEEP SLOPES IN WHICH THEY ARE POSITIONED. THESE SPACES BECOME A SHAREDLINK PARK FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS THE RESIDENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT WHICH IT SURROUNDS. PLANTING WILL INCLUDE: TIOKI, KARAMU, TI KOUKA-CABBAGE TREE, MAPOU, OIOI, CAREX AND FLAX.
