Kia ora, welcome to the Athenree Jetty project page. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the project, including key details, next steps and frequently asked questions. Check out the information on the right-hand side of this page for all this and more.


About the project

The jetty on Athenree Esplanade, behind 12 Roretana Drive, is in a very poor condition and needs replacing.

We are building a new replacement jetty, which will be the same size as the current jetty, but at a lower height, to meet health and safety regulations which have been introduced since the original jetty was built.

That means during king tide and storm events the deck could be below water. But to build it at same height would now require balustrades, which isn’t ideal for water activities and access direct off the jetty.



In 2023, we pre-engaged with residents that resided close to the jetty to obtain feedback. This helped us shape the design options.

We were informed:

  • Most wanted the jetty to remain.
  • 25% of residents surveyed used the jetty for boating.
  • The majority used the jetty to access the foreshore.
  • Swimming and fishing are also activities that are undertaken.
  • The jetty is used as a viewing platform and a place for passive recreation.


What's happening now?

15 November 2024

We are in the process of finalising the design and obtaining the consents needed to start the work, and expect to go out to tender early next year.

Building is anticipated to start within the first six months of 2025.

The sea wall at the Athenree North Foreshore Reserve, located behind numbers 44 - 52 Roretana Drive, is also due to be replaced and this work will be done around the same time.

We will have a clearer timeline once the contractor has been appointed.
