AUCKLAND MANUKAU EASTERN TRANSPORT INITIATIVE (AMETI)

The Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI) has transformed transport options for Aucklanders, improving connectivity and access through key infrastructure upgrades. A crucial part of this urban development was ensuring the surrounding environment remained green, functional, and sustainable.

Living Earth played a key role in the landscape design of the new train and bus interchange at the Ellerslie-Panmure roundabout, supplying premium growing media to establish thriving green spaces.

Commuters now enjoy vibrant garden areas supported by Living Earth Raingarden Mix and Living Earth UltraSoil, designed to enhance plant health and support stormwater filtration. These high-performance blends reduce stormwater runoff and filter contaminants before they enter Auckland’s waterways, contributing to improved urban water management.

Additionally, the interchange’s striking grass terraces were established using Living Earth Lawn Mix, ensuring lush, resilient greenery that enhances the aesthetic and environmental value of the space.

By integrating sustainable growing media into Auckland’s transport infrastructure, AMETI showcases how urban development and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. Living Earth is proud to contribute to projects that make cities greener, healthier, and more liveable.
