The project rebuilt the damaged parts of the wharf and piles, strengthened it and upgraded it to today's safety standards, while keeping the heritage style of the wharf and providing a new floating pontoon platform for fishing and diving.
Thanks to all of the council staff and contractors for their work on this project, especially navigating the complexities of heritage and coastal requirements, and thanks to the Beach Haven Placemaking Group and Larking Boat Steering Group members for their substantial input into the design.
- A Kaipatiki Local Board project, funded by the regional coastal budget.
Wonderful gifts for everyone at 18 Link Drive at Wairau Park. New linen, underwear and shoes plus new luxury Christmas trees. We are open Mon - Sat 9 - 5pm and Sun 10 - 4pm.
