Magazine Bay Marina demolition work begins Monday

The next phase of the Naval Point – Te Nukutai o Tapoa Development Plan is getting underway with the demolition of the Magazine Bay Marina.

Christchurch City Council has appointed contractors Fulton Hogan to carry out the work, which will begin on Monday 11 September and is expected to be completed before the end of the year. The majority of the $631,000 project will be financed through the Government’s Better Off funding package.

A small section of the marina will remain in place, but the majority of the structure, including the jumping jetty will be removed because of its poor condition. Options are being considered to replace the jumping jetty.

What you need to know

• There will be no marine or pedestrian access, under or on the marina structure, while the works are underway.
• Access to the public boat ramp will be maintained.
• Yellow floating buoys will be installed around the demolition work area, please maintain a safe distance away from the buoys when passing.
• There will be increased traffic movement around the worksite, both on the water and around the car park area.
