Panepane wharf undergoes safety work
Part of Panepane Wharf on Matakana Island has been removed from use due to the failure of two piles causing a section of the wharf to slump.
This occurred just before Christmas and temporary safety measures have been put in place to protect the safety of users on the wharf.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council has arranged for contractors to securely fence off the damaged part of the wharf. This work should be completed by the end of next week.
Boat passengers will still be able to use the wharf which is being regularly monitored to ensure public safety. Wharf users are asked to avoid the danger area and vehicles are prohibited from driving on the wharf. Council is undertaking a detailed condition inspection of the wharf structure to gain a better understanding about its remaining life so that decisions can be made about its repair or replacement.
Shame on You!
This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
