Casting the mounting plates in the concrete slabs and reinstatement of three of the four the mooring bollards has been completed.

The installation of the new Victoria Wharf handrails and walers are nearly completed. As is a new forty metre long timber fender pile system for the provision of berthing vessels during special events.  Only line marking, construction of the storage facility and installation of the lighting poles, remains.

Preparations for a slab pour on Devonport’s Victoria Wharf

Opotiki Harbour

The Ōpōtiki District Council (ODC) has engaged the services of Resolve Group to provide a procurement strategy for the Ōpōtiki Harbour Development Project, which will include upgrading the entrance into the Ōpōtiki Harbour so that a minimum channel depth of about 3.7 metres (at mid tide) is maintained, creating a new river entrance 400m to the east of the existing entrance, and constructing two 500 metre long training walls. The walls will be 120m apart and will provide a channel width of at least 60m that is navigable in wave heights of up to 2 metres. The existing river entrance channel will be closed.

The procurement strategy aims to ensure ODC achieves true value for money, transparency, defendable outcomes and a high degree of probity. The procurement strategy is required to be sufficiently flexible to allow for the possibility of including the support infrastructure for the marine farm. The support structure includes wharves, loading facilities, servicing areas, processing plant and R & D facilities.

Martin Leak and Rob Lorden are also providing ongoing professional procurement advice for the Specimen Design phase of the project.
