Mangonui Waterfront Facilities Enhancement and Regeneration (IRG)

The project will create 30-40 additional vehicle parks, a pontoon and jetty, and improve access to and along the Mangonui Waterfront. The scope has been narrowed to fit within the announced CIP funding figure of $1.75 million by removing one pontoon, wharf extension truck turning area, and a 4km shared pathway.The PDU recommends increasing government funding from $1.5m to $1.75m because Far North Holdings Ltd has advised that a $250,000 shortfall would not enable it to include the pontoon and jetty within the project scope.This additional funding from the original amount approved will need to be met from the IRG contingency.

Animal Shelters (IRG)

The project will deliver two new fully compliant animal shelters at 303 Bonnett Road, Kaitaia and 271 Ngapuhi Road, Kaikohe.

Paihia Waterfront Development (IRG)
