	The Aotea Square Water Sculpture
		In contrast to Auckland's flatly inhuman Downtown Square, bound on all sides by light-obliterating 'skyscrapers', Aotea Square (though just as barren) is open enough to suggest some expansion of human activity.
		Stringer says he is glad of the opportunity to create a work which will have a wide audience and which relates to the environment on a large scale.
		A lake represented on the top of the sculpture is visible only from a high vantage point (of which there are many around the square) and the balance between natural form and simple geometry creates one further element of aesthetic interest.

		Last night's Close-Up at 7 special on 1984's Aotea Square riot might well have been a wee bit of a promo for Dave Dobbyn's forthcoming national tour with Brooke Fraser, and its previously unseen footage didn't amount to much.
		The snatches of conversation caught on the tape were quite vivid: the music stopped (on the order of the police, as it turned out) and thousands of people who had been facing the stage turned around to see a line of riot police blocking their exit from the square.
		In the end, I concur with what Dave Dobbyn said last night: a whole confluence of factors converged on Aotea Square that Friday; not least among them a sense of release with the end of the Muldoon era.

	Hoping for The Edge in convention centre race - 30 Oct 2006 - Auckland City
		The Edge chief executive Greg Innes, a tireless campaigner to expand the Aotea Centre as the venue for a large convention centre, told the Herald he was "quietly confident" of getting the nod from the steering group made up of councils, government departments and the New Zealand Convention Association.
		In The Edge's annual report chairman David Wolfenden writes: "We believe a smart move would be to integrate the carpark repairs, upgrade the square and construct the international convention centre [at the same time] and have it completed in time for the Rugby World Cup 2011.
		It could be a lot cheaper to build a convention centre into a stadium than a stand-alone building between the Aotea Centre and Civic building out across the top of Mayoral Drive, he said.

		Not long after becoming Mayor, Dick Hubbard's council was faced with a NZ$85 million dollar repair bill for newly discovered structural issues involving Aotea Square - a prominent open space next to the Town Hall.
		When the total bill was estimated at in excess of $750 million dollars, the plans were quietly shelved by council officers, describing the plans as "a low priority for the city's needs".
