There are a limited number of berths available from 16m to 50m adjacent to Hobson Wharf being marketed by Ports of Auckland. There is also a private marina adjacent to the Team New Zealand/America's Cup base.

What sort of events are likely to be held in the Viaduct Harbour?
The America's Cup has recently finished and the next Louis Vuitton Cup will start in October 2002. The next America's Cup will be held in February/March 2003. This is expected to be bigger and brighter than the 2000 event, when 3.6 million people visited Viaduct Harbour between October and March. Other events will include dragon boat racing, international triathlons, boat shows, race stopovers, etc. The Council estimates that there could be events for up to 40 days of the year. Latitude 37 provides the opportunity to purchase and be part of these stunning events.

What happens when major events are held in the area?
During October 1999 to March 2000, 3.6 million people visited the area - up to 80,000 in a day. There were little if any problems or disruption during that period, and a lot of important information is now available for the control and management of such events.

Carparking
Carparking is provided in a fully enclosed and secure basement, which is accessed by both stairs and lift from each apartment level. All apartment prices include either one or two carparks (this is indicated on the information sheet). Access to the carpark is via Pakenham Street, the security door is operated by a remote control from within your car.
One of the many features of Latitude 37 is that all carparking is concealed under cover and not visible to residents or the public.
There is a public parking building adjacent to Latitude 37 which will provide ample parking for visitors.

Storage
All apartments include a storage locker in the price. The storage lockers are located in the basement carpark.

Is there an on-site manager?
Yes. Sharon and Rod Clarke are the on-site managers. In addition to looking after the complex, they provide apartment management, cleaning, servicing, shopping and letting services.

What facilities are available should I decide to lease my apartment?
There are a number of management companies familiar with this development. At your request, they can manage your apartment on your behalf. Also, Latitude 37 Accommodation Ltd is a company which concentrates purely on leasing and servicing apartments within Latitude 37. It can provide long-term ongoing management of your apartment. The Building Managers also provide a similar service.
How much would this facility cost me?A general guideline would be approximately 10% of the income.

What costs will there be associated with my apartment assuming that I purchase ?
The outgoings include a body corporate fee, a ground lease fee (which forms part of the body corporate payment) and your Council rates. The ground lease and body corporate outgoings are pro-ratered. Your share of the overall cost is dependent on the value and size of your apartment. This means that the smaller apartments aren't subsidising the larger apartments, and therefore provides a fair system to all users.

What will happen to the Cup bases along the Lighter Basin?
The promenade will carry on around the Lighter Basin and along the side opposite to Latitude 37, returning around the end along side the Marina to Halsey Street.
It is proposed that the area between the promenade and Halsey Street that used to be known as the Log Farm will become apartments/residential. The area on the south side of Viaduct Harbour Avenue where the Expo Pavilion was during the cup could become a hotel.

What is the future of the Viaduct Harbour?
Viaduct Harbour has been referred to as the Heart of Auckland City. Since the start of redevelopment nearly three years ago, approximately $100 million has been spent on the infrastructure by America's Cup Village and Auckland City Council. This includes the construction of the areas for the Cup bases, dredging of Viaduct Harbour to give a minimum of 3.5 metres at low tide. A new stormwater system was installed to prevent any discharge into the area. New public promenades and public open spaces (Waitemata Plaza and Market Place Plaza) have been created. The roads, footpaths, planting, seating and lighting in Viaduct Harbour are all new.
Private development has added in excess of another $300 million. This includes Latitude 37, Maritime Square Office Park, The Point, Quays, The Sebel, Princes Wharf, two carparking buildings, redevelopment of the old markets building, and redevelopment of the old Winstone building - all of which contributed to the label, "The Heart of Auckland City", and ensure the growth of this area in the future, reinforced with the Louis Vuitton in October 2002, and the America's Cup in February/March 2003. The super yachts and tourism have also added their weight to the growth and popularity of the area.
