OLYMPICS AUCKLAND LEGACY

SYDNEY OLYMPICS “The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games were the first Games to explicitly incorporate legacy planning into the Olympic bid, outlining a future for the Games infrastructure that extended beyond the hosting period,”

SYDNEY OLYMPICS Sustainability Principles Brownfield site Adapt or use existing materials High performance Green Buildings Minimise impacts of Olympics on residents Minimise waste Protect native eco-systems Make sites fully accessible by public transport Manage water sustainably Use energy efficiently Create a local amenity and access for people

SYDNEY OLYMPICS Sustainability Policy Comprehensive! See Sustainability Strategy Ongoing environmental performance reporting on –Biodiversity –Resource Conservation –Site Impacts –Involving People TRIPLE Bottom Line Sustainability

SYDNEY LEGACY THEN Homebush Bay – ‘the southern hemisphere’s most polluted site’ NOW Internationally recognised leading example of urban renewal and environmental remediation Annually more than 5,000 events held at Sydney Olympic Park = over 12 events per day Allphones Arena is rated no. 2 indoor arena in the world by revenue ANZ Stadium is leading sports & entertainment venue in Oz 70,000 cyclists / month enjoy using 35kms of cycleways Sydney Olympic Park boasts the biggest collection of large scale, site- specific urban art in Australia Olympic venues now provide a balance between serving the community’s recreational and fitness needs and providing access as a training facility for elite athletes Park is home to three endangered ecological communities, over 400 native plant species, over 180 species of native birds, seven species of frogs, 10 species of bats, 10 species of reptiles, many species of fish and many thousands of species of invertebrates. Next to Olympic Park, 450 hectares was set aside and restored to form a public recreational and ecological area, with salt marsh, mangroves, wetlands and other wildlife habitats.

The Future become a city within a city offer a unique lifestyle embody healthy liveable communities become a national centre for wellbeing incorporate a green hub that brings together sustainable industries, research organisations, centres of excellence, environmental and community groups champion best practice sustainable design.

LONDON OLYMPICS ‘London 2012’s relentless pursuit of sustainability has been part of every bold and challenging decision we have made, in the development of the Olympic Park and the staging of the Games.’

LONDON OLYMPICS Sustainability Principles Carbon management to deliver a low-carbon Games Delivering a zero-waste Games Providing sustainable and accessible transport solutions Using the Games to showcase the economic benefits of sustainability Promoting sustainable living by making sustainability a visible part of the Games Ensuring the Olympic Park legacy contributes to the regeneration of communities in east London

LONDON OLYMPICS Sustainability Delivered through Carbon management through –Temporary Structures, –District Heating – energy centre –Renewable energy – abandoned. Venue energy use higher than expected. Waste management –98% of C&D waste reused or recycled –Designing out waste (end of life plans) –Waste as a valuable resource Transport –Public transport –Active travel Economic benefits –Designed for long term legacy –Long term solutions – reprofiling river valley, on-site remediation of soil –Skills and employment Legacy Plan

LONDON LEGACY THEN Derelict and deprived area NOW Building zero carbon, water efficient homes, connected to community heating. Cycle hire throughout park Minimising the waste we send to landfill by only using what we need, and reusing and recycling as much as we can – recycling facilities everywhere Responsibly sourcing and using materials with low environmental impact Creating neighbourhoods which are easy to walk around, encouraging cycling and promoting the use of public transport, reducing polluting emissions to air. No home more than 350m away from a bus stop Managing energy and water efficient venues Building on the Olympic legacy by supporting sustainable events that respect their parkland setting Nurturing natural habitats and local biodiversity – green space will double to 102 hectares Educational initiatives and research programmes will be put in place to enable sustainable behaviour to become the norm in and around the Park.

LONDON LEGACY

THEN Derelict and deprived area NOW Nearly 5 million visitors to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park since fully reopening to the public in April 2014 with hugely popular world class sporting venues on the Park Work continuing on the Stadium to convert it into a world-class multi-sport venue, capable of hosting concerts, exhibitions and a whole host of sports alongside regular football and athletics fixtures Over 40% of space let in Here East, the former Press and Broadcast Centres, which is being transformed into a digital quarter, First homes went on sale at Chobham Manor, the first new neighbourhood on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. More than 4,500 people are now living in East Village, the former Athletes’ Village £141m committed by the Chancellor to ‘Olympicopolis’: the cultural and educational complex in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

OLYMPIC PARKS Opportunities High investment Large scale Regeneration Lots of projects happening concurrently Designing for two phases –Staging the games –Post games The transition between phases Managing the “gaps” Connection and integration with existing surroundings/community Challenges

GREEN STAR COMMUNITIES

ELEMENTS OF COMMUNITIES Infrastructure: systems and services which supply our energy and water, manage our waste, communications, technology and provide for mobility Buildings: built form that accommodates activities associated with working, living and recreation, both public and private Public Realm areas accessible to the public. People: those who may own, rent, occupy, visit, work, reside, recreate or interact in the area Ecology: biological systems within the environment Economy: systems supporting the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of goods and services Governance: rules, behaviours and structures that shape and influence communities Services: information and facilities that are available to people

ENVIRONMENT How does a sustainable community respect and regenerate the environment?

FOSTER ENVRIONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Enhancing our natural environment Protecting, valuing, restoring and enhancing our natural and cultural heritage assets, both water and land-based Promoting biodiversity through the provision of habitats, spaces and environments across the community and urban areas Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, contaminants and other pollutants to land, water and atmosphere Minimising the risk from extreme natural events and impacts of climate change Reducing ecological footprint Promoting environmentally efficient systems for water and wastewater management and reuse; sustainable energy generation and distribution; and waste management and recycling Encouraging greater resource efficiency within a life cycle context Reusing and retrofi tting existing sites and buildings Providing sustainable transport opportunities and encouraging their use Promoting food security and sustainable food production Educating communities on their individual and collective impacts by making resource savings and consumption data explicit within the built environment

ENVIRONMENT Integrated Water Cycle 7 Greenhouse Gas Strategy 6 Materials 5 Sustainable Transport and Movement 3 Sustainable Sites 2 Ecological Value 2 Waste Management 2 Heat Island Effect 1 Light Pollution 1 Sustainable communities respect the environmental systems that support them. They protect and restore the natural environmental values of their bio-regions. They are less resource intensive. They promote infrastructure, transport and buildings that reduce their ecological footprint. In applying this principle the following should be considered:
