Kia ora, welcome to the Athenree Jetty project page. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the project, including 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 need 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.
