Keep up to date with how the project is going, and understand the process so far. New information will be added as the project progresses.
15 January 2025: Hataitai beach seawalls More Less
A section of seawall by and to the south of the Hataitai beach changing rooms and toilets is to be replaced. Work is expected to start in early 2025 (dates to be confirmed). The work does not include the section of wall adjacent to the boatsheds.
The low wall at the rear of Hataitai beach will also be replaced. This will happen in two stages once work on the seawall is complete. It's likely the work at the beach will start in autumn and continue through the winter. The changing sheds and toilets will be open as usual, and it will always be possible to swim at and use the beach.
