Kia ora, welcome to the Panepane wharf project page. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the project, including latest updates, and a timeline of upcoming steps. Check out the information on the right-hand side of this page for all this and more.
About the project
The wharf at Panepane Point, Matakana Island, has come to the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. The existing wharf was built in the 1980s from timber, which has since been damaged by marine worms. The new wharf will be primarily constructed from steel and aluminium, with a lifespan of up to 50 years.
It will include two jetties and a pontoon - the dual design will improve accessibility and functionality, while doubling user capacity. The pontoon will be easier to get on and off, while stairs will provide an all-weather option, where boats can access the wharf at different locations, depending on the tidal water level at the time.
What’s happening now? (18 September)
Things are really taking shape, with one of the two jetties almost ready for its first visitors.
Next steps...
Finish installing the stairs (then this jetty will be operational)
Remove the old wharf
Install the gangway and pontoon to the new wharf (the old wharf is currently in the way)
Timber from the old wharf will then be recycled back into the community - it will be used for furniture in the foreshore reserve, and local hapu will also receive timber for other community projects.
