PRINCIPLES

2

Cost estimates for both Bof fa Miskell and McNabb projects over budget, by $1m, also not ful ly f i t for purpose 70metre too short .

$2.2m Bof fa Miskell 70metre option quote only based on cheapest seawall, excluded boat ramps, viewing platforms, wharfs, promenades, demolition of old wharf and rock edge protection.

Significant uncertainty around consenting costs and approval of reclamation – upwards of $500k.

Dredging costs have not been determined $10k max annually

Unknown on-going maintenance costs of land reclamation

Options don’t address wharf age and redevelopment – r isk wharf could col lapse 3-6 years

Tairua Wharf is owned by Council since 1913 and has been maintained by Council since then, with ongoing maintenance responsibil it ies.

Any reclamation requires consent from the crown and subject to treaty sett lements.

Site hasn't been specifically raised in the Hauraki negotiations. However al l Crown land is subject to Treaty of Waitangi claims unti l al l claims in that area have been sett led. Peter Wishart has of fered his services in contacting al l Iwi to progress any options .
