Portside Gardens: A Premier Waterfront Development
Overview
Kumul Consolidated Holdings, in partnership with Ashton Brunswick as advisors and marketing agents, proudly introduces Portside Gardens, a premium waterfront development site located on Champion Parade, Port Moresby, formerly known as the old Port Site. This exceptional site encompasses four zones with a total of 13 approved lots, following the planning permission granted by the NCDC on March 7, 2024. A complete copy of the approval is available upon request.
A Historic Location
Situated at the heart of Port Moresby’s Fairfax Harbour—one of the world’s most remarkable natural deepwater harbours—Portside Gardens embodies a rich maritime legacy. This site has long been a hub of commercial trade, industrial activity, and naval architecture, representing a significant chapter in Papua New Guinea’s national narrative. With breathtaking views over the harbour, Portside Gardens is positioned to become an iconic destination that reflects Papua New Guinea’s aspirations for a vibrant, contemporary, and distinctly Melanesian future.
A Vision for the Future
Kumul Consolidated Holdings has enlisted a team of renowned specialists—including Architectus, EJE Architects, and Premise Engineers—to reimagine this vital site. The master plan aims to enhance Port Moresby’s urban potential by creating a seamlessly connected network of public spaces along the foreshore. Portside Gardens will serve as a dynamic precinct celebrating 21st-century Melanesian identity, providing diverse accommodation options such as residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, and recreational facilities, alongside cultural and marine activities.
Key Features
- Integrated Access and Safety: The master plan prioritizes efficient vehicle access routes while ensuring pedestrian safety, creating an inviting and navigable environment.
- Architectural Excellence: All buildings will be designed with high architectural standards, harmonizing with landscaped garden spaces and enhancing the site’s views.
- Public Engagement: The development will include ample urban activation at ground level, featuring quality dining and retail offerings that enrich the public domain.
- Cruise Terminal and Commercial Precinct: The project also encompasses the existing T-wharf, proposing an integrated overseas passenger ship cruise terminal complemented by high-quality retail and cultural spaces.
A Garden Precinct for All
Portside Gardens is designed as a lush, vibrant garden precinct—an ideal place for living, working, and recreation. With deep soil landscapes, podium gardens, and terraced greenery, this development aims to create a welcoming environment that fosters community engagement and connection with nature.
