VIDEO: Mangōnui waterfront boardwalk extension now complete

Mangōnui’s new waterfront boardwalk, which includes a 364-metre extension from the War Memorial on Waterfront Road to Tasman Street, is now complete.

The design includes dual walking and cycling boardwalks that connects the township with the harbour, and links to a 550-metre gravel path ending at Māori Point. Additional features include a new jetty and pontoon to provide access to the water for recreational activities, including boating, fishing, and swimming. 

The project is the result of work by the Mangōnui Waterfront Facilities Working Group, with input from Kenana Marae.

A community survey in 2019 found strong support for plans to extend the boardwalk, increased parking, the installation of a gangway, and a pontoon at the circular wharf.

The project was funded from the Council’s Long-Term Plan and contributions from the Government's COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund.
