ex Elly 258 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Tauranga Marina Society proposes $20 million marina expansion for Sulphur Point A boardwalk, fishing bays, a cafe and at least 250 extra berths feature in the Tauranga Marina Society's proposal for a $20 million marina expansion. The society has drawn up concept plans to extend its existing 561-berth Sulphur Point marina southwards into Marine Park, a council-owned recreational reserve. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12077946 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 530 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Whitianga Marina is also adding a substantial number of larger berths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nzgrant 19 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 All the auckland boats need to go somewhere. After all auckland council seem to want to get rid of as many as possible(westhaven , okahu ) Why is it that auckland council staff, and councillers i guess, hate boats so much??

Black Panther 1,765 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Because they can generate way more money using the space for something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 449 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Do not think that they will be generating much loot in Okahu Bay. http://www.maoritelevision.com/news/national/boats-no-moor-okahu-bay As a young fella I used help stripping mussels of the breakwater piles with a local Maori and his kids in a Idle Along. On a good day we could get half a dozen sacks. Maybe that is why I glow in the dark? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I noticed this morning that some boats have been moved across to Hobson bay - one of the modified Turissimo cats in particular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 258 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 So apparently the above Tauranga marina extension is to counteract a land grab by Waikato university... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
