Work is set to start next week on a $576,000 project to renew sections of the rock seawall at Katikati’s MacMillan Reserve.
The exisiting seawall has deteriorated over time, with the new sections of seawall will be designed and constructed to modern best-practice standards, helping protect the surrounding coastline for future generations.
The work is scheduled to start on Monday 14 September and is expected to take six to eight weeks, depending on weather and tidal conditions.
“MacMillan Reserve is an important space for the Katikati community, so it’s important we invest in protecting it for the future. Renewing the seawall will provide stronger coastal protection and help ensure the reserve can continue to be enjoyed for years to come,” said Western Bay of Plenty Council Reserves and Facilities Assets Manager, Janine Field.
“We appreciate the patience and understanding of reserve users and neighbouring residents while this work is happening.”
