Richard Reid & Associates's BBREO design was supported by one of Australasia's most experienced and recognised urban designers, Jan McCredie, in her evidence to the Board of Inquiry today. McCredie is a former Manager of City Strategy and Urban Design at Wellington City Council and was instrumental in preparing the urban vision which informed Wellington 2040: Smart Capital's  

McCredie's evidence stated NZTA's Basin Bridge Proposal is totally contrary to high quality urban design. ?t is a significant intervention in the city which fundamentally and detrimentally alters the street and open space pattern of Wellington's he Proposal severely compromises what Wellington is and what it aspires to be in the future.

McCredie commented about BRREO: The proposal is a very elegant solution. It looks deceptively simple ... but then so does the Apple computer."
