About Business Parks projects

Business park projects in New Zealand need a brief that sets out how each occupier will use the site before building footprints are fixed. Wanaka Boat Storage by Cohesive Group and New World 3 Parks, Wanaka by McCoy Wixon Architects show two uses, storage and retail, with different access and servicing needs. Define those requirements for the actual proposal rather than relying on a standard layout.

Business Parks

For business parks, early layout work should account for delivery routes, pedestrian access and the space needed to operate each tenancy. LQ Hotel by Wyndham by Original Stone Ltd is listed as a hospitality example; where accommodation is proposed, plan guest arrival separately from servicing. Check how utilities and access can be maintained if a building or tenancy changes use.

What should a business park brief define first?

Set out the intended use, operating hours and space needed for each occupier. Note any requirements for storage or deliveries before fixing building footprints.

How should vehicle access be tested?

Show the expected delivery vehicle moving through the site and reaching its loading area. Keep pedestrian routes clear of reversing movements where practicable.

When should consent requirements be checked?

Confirm permitted use, access and site coverage with the local council before settling the layout. Carry any consent conditions into the design brief.
