Te Nukutai o Tapoa-Naval Point work progressing

Work is progressing well at Lyttelton’s Te Nukutai o Tapoa-Naval Point to prepare the site for the SailGP race in January 2022.

Foreshore improvements are almost complete and include removing debris and concrete waste and installing proper rocks. The ageing water main has also been replaced and tested, with the new line connected to the network last week.

The Coastguard building has been demolished and a new temporary building created, while the car park site is being levelled and compacted in preparation for spreading a sub-base material before pavement can be laid. Designs for pavement and stormwater drainage have been completed and are being checked for compliance and approval.

A big thank you to the many groups who use the site, or are based there, for your patience as this work is carried out.

Additional work happening for SailGP

Extra improvements are being made to the Te Nukutai o Tapoa-Naval Point area to prepare for the SailGP racing series being held at Whakaraupō-Lyttelton Harbour.

Christchurch City Council is assessing what work can be carried out to roads and pedestrian access ways it owns and manages to and from the site, as well as parking areas near the boat ramp.
