01. Te-Kaha Stadium
Led by BESIX Watpac, the Kōtui initiative is set to redefine entertainment spaces with the Canterbury Multi-Use Arena (CMUA). Designed to accommodate 30,000 attendees, this arena will play host to a diverse range of events – from major sporting contests to world-class concerts. The adaptable seating arrangement ensures the venue’s suitability for both larger and smaller-scale events. This visionary project highlights BESIX Watpac’s commitment to creating multipurpose infrastructures tailored for community needs.

At Critical Planning Project Services our involvement is pivotal in sculpting this monumental undertaking. Our role extends from managing the programme and planning of the entire construction from geotechnical ground improvements to various construction phases including the substructure foundations, superstructure steelwork and concrete precast, façade and roof structural steel. A unique challenge lies in the roof structural steel, which is an independent structure from the stadium bowl steel. With its roof challenges comes its unique feature which will provide an outstanding view, retain noise/atmosphere within the stadium bowl, and can protect spectators from the weather to provide a more comfortable viewing environment. Our responsibilities of planning and programming culminate in the development of the Field of Play pitch and the meticulous process of Stadium Commissioning. We cherish our collaboration with Kōtui, embodying the spirit of “Together We are Kotui.”
02. Haeata Community Campus
Haeata (Aranui) Community Campus, which opened at the start of Term 1 2017, will eventually cater for 1,800 pupils from Years 1 to 13, starting with around 900 students from four merged schools – Avondale, Aranui Primary, Aranui High, and Wainoni. It was built under the Ministry requirements for “flexible learning environments”.
The new 11,000m2 school was built in stages on Aranui High School’s original school fields. The old school was demolished once the new buildings became operational, with the sports grounds installed in place of the old buildings.
The new campus consists of two primary and two secondary school buildings wrapped around a core field, as well as a dedicated learning area for special needs students.

Designed to achieve a 5 Greenstar built rating, the campus was designed to provide good lighting acoustics and ventilation and to meet a high standard of technology.
03. Rolleston College
Rolleston College, opened at the start of Term 1 2017, is the first secondary school in Rolleston, built on a 6.4 hectare site. It was designed to cater for a maximum capacity of 1,800 Year 9 to 13 students. The building was staged to accommodate roll growth in the Rolleston Secondary School catchment, one of the fastest growing communities in New Zealand. It was built under the Ministry requirements for “flexible learning environments”.
The new 11,000m2 high school opened one year at a time, starting with a roll of 250 Year 9 students only, increasing to 1,040 students in Years 9 to 13 by 2021.
The state of the art facility was designed to achieve a 5 Greenstar built rating and supports the approach to learning that emphasises community, collaboration and connectivity in all aspects of school life.
The college consists of a single two storey building, with the main entrance in the central core of the building and arms of the building off this entrance.

04. Wakatipu High Shool
The consortium (consisting of Hawkins and ASC Architects) is responsible for the school maintenance for 25 years, before the buildings are handed back to the Ministry in an agreed, well-maintained condition.
Wakatipu High School, which opened in time for Term 1 at the start of 2018, has been relocated to a new site at Remarkables Park, allowing the school to expand its growing roll from 840 to 1,200. The new facilities were designed to allow future expansion to cater for a maximum capacity of 1,800 Year 9 to 13 students. There is also the ability for the school to be expanded further once it reaches capacity.
It was built under the Ministry requirements for “flexible learning environments”.
The new two-storey 10,500m2 school has been built on an 8-hectare site. It consists of a main administration wing, comprising a large 350 seat multi-purpose theatre, gymnasium with a rock climbing wall, cafe and administration services, specialist learning spaces, a dance studio and a music rehearsal and recording studio. The main learning arms reach back and join to form an enclosed courtyard.
The structure consists of 8 seismic joints and large foundations, making it one of the safest buildings in Queenstown in the event of an earthquake.
