About the projects

We're investing in fit-for-purpose, safer, stronger coastal assets for our communities.

Across the rohe (District), a number of jetties and seawalls are reaching the end of their functional life. We're progressively renewing these to:

  • Improve safety and accessibility
  • Support recreational use
  • Protect our natural coastline
  • Meet the needs of our growing communities

Uretara Landing Reserve Jetty

We're replacing the aged 16sqm jetty at Uretara Landing Reserve with a brand-new 60sqm structure that will better serve the Katikati community.

The new jetty will be much larger and made with more modern materials, including plastic sleeves around the piles, which is current best practice.

Work on the jetty is scheduled to start on Thursday 10 April, and is expected to be completed by the end of June 2025.

During construction, the jetty site and adjacent boat ramp will be closed to the public.

The esplanade pathway, between SH2 and Noble Johnston Drive, will remain open - though there may be minor disruptions.


We're also replacing around 400m of ageing timber sea walls, across three locations.

These sea walls have served their purpose for several decades but have now reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced to ensure continued protection of our coastline.

These projects will enhance the resilience of our coastal infrastructure, ensuring it remains effective for years to come.

Each project is tailored to suit the local environment, using natural materials and minimal disruption approaches. Work on these projects is expected to start in May and be completed by the end of June 2025.
