Located on Ponsonby Road, Te Rimutahi is a brand-new civic space developed through over a decade of collaboration between Auckland Council, the Waitematā Local Board, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, and the local community.

Named after “the lone Rimu tree,” Te Rimutahi provides Ponsonby with a much-needed public gathering space. The project features an open-air event area, gardens, seating, and public bathrooms, all designed to serve the diverse needs of the community. It also integrates existing infrastructure with new, sustainable, and energy-efficient elements to minimise environmental impact while maximising social value.

Haptix was engaged to help ensure the space is not only beautiful and functional, but also safe and accessible for everyone.

As part of our scope, we:
-Installed stainless steel tactile indicators to support safe navigation for people with visual impairments
-Supplied and installed stair nosings to reduce the risk of slips and falls on public steps.
