Alternative working options during wharf rebuild

A meeting to discuss the alternative working options we are proposing for commercial operators during the de-construction and rebuild of the Akaroa Wharf will be held next week.

Commercial operators and other interested parties are welcome to attend the meeting to be held on Monday 20 June 2022, 4pm, at the Gaiety Hall, 104 Rue Jolie, Akaroa.

Council staff will provide an overview of the project and what temporary working options will be in place during the rebuild, as well as taking on board suggestions and feedback and responding to any questions. What will happen with utilities, fuel provision and transport and access will also be discussed.

We are replacing the iconic Akaroa Wharf – originally built in 1887 – as it is nearing the end of its usable life based on a 2018 structural condition assessment.

A concept design for the replacement wharf was approved at the 12 May 2022 Council meeting. A tender process to appoint a design team is underway, with construction estimated to begin in 2024 pending design and consent. The target for completion is 30 June 2025.
