Students Nikita Sharma, Celia Lee and Jenny Zhong were chosen to design and paint one panel of the three-section mural after an invitation by Study Auckland.
The goal was to give international students the chance to work with renound artists Ross Liew, Hana Maihi of Ngati Whatua Orakei and Te Whetu Collective member Poi Ngawati and experience crafting public art.
The other two panels have been painted by Maihi and Ngawati to create awareness of the rich Māori heritage on which the city was founded.
The three panels depict the importance of welcoming different cultures in Tamaki Makaurau and Te Tōangaroa, an area spanning from the end of Britomart to The Strand.
The biodiversity that once characterised the cultural landscape of Te Tōangaroa and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei’s history as mana whenua of Tāmaki have also been highlighted in the mural design.
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Whai Rawa cultural design executive Mei Hill said other Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei initiatives were planned to reinvigorate the cultural footprint of Te Tōangaroa.
“Sharing the journey of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei through art is just the beginning of how we intend to bring to life the masterplan for Te Tōangaroa. Our vision is a space where the people of Tāmaki can come together and enjoy and respect the culture and environment this city and its people have to offer,” Hill said.

It's International Star Wars Day.

The Stardome Observatory and Planetarium is running three special planetarium shows at 6pm, 7.30 pm and 9 pm tonight to commemorate the anniversary of the Star Wars movie.
The best selling film actually first screened in theatres on May 25.
Star Wars Day initially started on May 4 as a running joke, stemming from the pun, "May the Fourth be with you".
It was a play on words sparked by the popular movie line, "May the Force be with you," used by the characters to wish comrades good luck.
But the date stuck and Stars Wars Day has been celebrated on May 4 since 2011.
Bookings are essential for the events at the venue in One Tree Hill, Auckland.
Dress up as your favourite Star Wars character to go in the draw for some epic prizes.
Stormtroopers from the 501st Legion will be scouring the crowd for Rebel scum – but if you use your Jedi mind tricks you may be able to sneak past them to pose for photos.
You’ll then be treated to a special edition of Our Night Sky inside the planetarium, voyaging from nearby stars and planets to galaxies far, far away.
Everyone is welcome, even if you’ve gone to The Dark Side.

Million-dollar dumps: Auckland's $5.8m Carlile House deemed 'dangerous building'

Its owners, the United Church of Tonga, claim the land’s significance as home to the first Tongan congregation in New Zealand is being neglected by Auckland Council, in favour of its history as an orphanage, preventing the site from being developed.
Because of the building's status as a category one historic place and a stalemate with Auckland Council, Carlile House cannot be repaired or demolished.
However, the situation has recently become of higher concern to both parties, following the recent partial collapse of the building’s roof.

Poll: Do you support temporary alcohol bans at Auckland's major events?

Recurring temporary booze bans are in place for all major events at Eden Park, concerts at Mount Smart Stadium, Christmas in the Park and the Lantern Festival in Auckland.
The council's governing body has voted to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 to put a stop to alcohol for all major events at Mount Smart Stadium, Western Springs stadium and outer fields, Auckland Domain, Auckland Zoo's carpark, Te Papapa train station and any future fan trails to events where booze is forbidden.
Councillor Josephine Bartley said the proposed changes were about protecting our communities.
"Improving temporary major event alcohol bans will stop people drinking alcohol irresponsibly on their way to, at or after a major event and help prevent the associated disorder that occurs as a result.
"People should be able to attend these wonderful events that bring vibrancy to our city without having to worry about encountering anti-social behaviour caused by groups of people binge drinking."
Bartley said the improvements helped make it safer for people to travel to events on public transport and would prevent the problem from being shifted elsewhere.
Nearly 900 people gave their feedback on the proposed changes, which come into effect on June 1.

Florida residents are furious as scientists prepare to release hundreds of millions of genetically modified mosquitoes into their communities.
The experiment, led by British biotech company Oxitec, will see around 750 million male mosquitoes sent out into the Florida Keys over the next two years in an attempt to control the population of an invasive, disease carrying species which has settled in the area.
But many residents are unhappy at being part of what one group called "a Jurassic Park experiment."
The first wave of the project will see thousands of mosquitoes released at six locations this week.

NZ Post has confirmed uniforms were stolen during a break-in at one of its depots in east Auckland on April 25 – three days before the CCTV video was shot.
It's understood one of the items was a gift intended to be used in a kindergarten fundraiser.
The CCTV footage was recorded at the Onehunga apartments just before 3pm on Wednesday, a resident said.
A police spokesman confirmed they’d received a report relating to the apartment theft last night, and police were looking to speak to the two women in the video.
“If members of the public know those involved they can provide information to police by calling 105 and quoting the file number 210429/3091.”
NZ Post told Stuff the company was working with police as it investigated the recent break-in and theft of courier uniforms and mail.
