Jetty Upgrade

About the project

Subject to approval of the Coastal Structures Assets Renewal project budget in the Long Term Plan 2021-31, an upgrade to the jetty/pontoon area on The Esplanade will take place over 2021-23.

There will be a new boat ramp and pontoon facilities to accommodate increased demand (8m wide double ramp and 4m wide single ramp). New jetty facilities with wider separation from boat ramps and an extended pontoon for additional mooring opportunities. Dinghy racks and small vessel ramp facilities will also be made available.

Ōmokoroa Jetty walkway surfacing rejuvenation

In the meantime, new FRP (fibre reinforced polymer) decking has been installed by Downer on the Ōmokoroa Jetty walkway, over the old timber decking. The FRP material is very strong and durable, highly slip/skid-resistant and ideal in corrosive/coastal locations.

Note, this is a temporary solution until an eventual full upgrade to that entire facility. The FRP sheets will then be re-used elsewhere.
