If you have a moored boat and are concerned about having access to facilities in the future i suggest you fill out the survey. Room for comments as to the loss of marina's and ramps as well. https://www.yachtingnz.org.nz/news/recreational-boating-survey-2023-have-your-say

OLBConsultationResults.pdf Clear public support for a hardstand at The Landing Ōrākei Local Board asked for feedback on their decision to close the hardstand at The Landing and the response from ratepayers is NO. Results of the Ōrākei Local Board public consultaton on retenton of the hardstand at Okahu Bay shows a clear majority (64%) support retenton of a short stay haul out and hardstand facility for boat cleaning and/or ant-foul applicaton. There were 1,558 respondents of which 617 were Ōrākei residents. The response shows the hardstand is a regional issue and the

"where has the RAYC gone" Are we serious, perhaps you should do some research such as why the areas set aside for boat storage are now a restaurant and restaurant storage. Maybe that's why the RAYC wants some boat storage now.

AYBA has been fighting this since the beginning. Plenty submitted against it but were they all counted? Yes the give a little page is low for what we need, glad that makes some happy and perhaps its the constant negative comments that don't help either. We have also received support from many direct into the AYBA account, but are still short. The council needs money, so it shuts down a business that was giving it an income and now has to come up with funds to pay a third party for security, ramp cleaning, pontoon maintenance (already parts missing), fresh water costs (although

The AYBA will be having a meeting soon i believe as to how far it is to pursue these cases and how many it will fight as this is totally dependent on funds. Here's an update and more can be read here https://www.ayba.org.nz/blog/post/103082/april-2023-update/ Prior to the Super City there were 8 Councils in the Auckland Region and over-seeing our coastline and regional parks was the Auckland Regional Council. Today there are 21 Local Boards making local decisions for their area and there is no co-ordinated Regional Plan for the protection of our coastal and marine environment.

Hi Terry info and links here, https://www.ayba.org.nz/submissions/ Big or small any greatly appreciated, please share far and wide

thanks to those of you who have donated. While support from the boating fraternity is poor in numbers others are still fighting. For those interested here's where they presented to ACC, watch from around 18.25

You are correct Elly Both these cases are part of the AYBA & AMUA drive for a Strategic Plan of all our Coastal Resourses - Launching ramps, haul-outs, public access, club facilities, fore shore reserves, etc. Future Proofing the ongoing access to our harbours and Gulf for all Aucklanders to be able to enjoy the Coastal and Marine environment in perpetuity! They have filed an appeal against the development at Bayswater and costs are already rising. The Landing has also employed legal counsel. Bayswater (followed closely by The Landing) are the first two. The case against Bayswater

Approved, they wanted invoices to date

Agree and believe someone will be doing that as well, (I'm hoping)

And here is a comment (unofficial) i heard through the grapevine. One of the reasons the give a little page was started is to gauge support from the wider boating community. So if a few donate a bit there is not much support and perhaps they need to reassess what they are spending. If thousands (which there are) donated a little it would show support and help send the message. This is about pushing for a commitment from council to have a plan that existing marine facilities and regional assets that allow marine users to access the water are kept and improved on whether it be for rowi

They have written to most councilors (and a couple are on our side) along with MP's etc. And yes i pay to but i would like them to remain.

They were, if they were not they couldn't appeal. Perhaps more should offer to help the few that are fighting for us all.

They have been involved from the start and the page is pending waiting for the secretary to reply with id etc, must of been a holiday yesterday.

It's not over yet, the AYBA (Auckland Yacht and Boating Association) has joined the fight along with the support of the AMUA (Auckland Marina users Association inc.). The first is to appeal Bayswater as by doing so this will also help the case for The Landing and other sites. So please consider making a donation here and perhaps add "crew.org" after your first name. https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/bayswater-marina-needs-to-remain-a-marine-precinct

An update, the council withdrew its support for Bayswater but the commissioner’s granted consent, figure that out! There are many comments on this page about improving or installing boat-ramps and access to the water. Unfortunately many Ak Councilors do not share your view! The good news is that the AYBA (Auckland Yacht and Boating Association) has joined the fight along with the support of the AMUA (Auckland Marina users Association inc.). While the first fight is at Bayswater this will also provide evidence for other battles they are currently fighting. These include the hardstand at Oka

I hope every one is looking at what is proposed and that there will be objections and lots of. "associated car parking and marine-related commercial activities will be upgraded" all existing marine related activities are gone and only retail type industries will possibly be in the new development. The boat ramp will now be unusable for most if not all and trailer parks are basically gone. Unless it's a jet ski as that's about all that will fit. While the majority of current users are power boats this also rules out the kids training with 470's and there coach boats which are often

Wasn't surprised that this has surfaced again but disappointing is what comes to mind along with the attitude of the marina association, especially within the Auckland area. Have had several dealings with marina's, boat owners, and inspectors regarding this topic including communicating with Brian Leyland also mentioned. Several marina's and inspectors were very keen to get a working group together to discuss and come up with a system that would suit all marina's within NZ and above all be safe. But not from Auckland it seems. I'm sure we can remember one marina in particular and insp

Bids going and then withdrawn again, got to be a bit more to the story here

Yep there is hope and then all going well we'll see how many actually join up and support the new club or just simply want to tie up get free water and use the bog.

Yawn Says it all here http://www.westhaven.co.nz/westhaven/using-the-marina/electrical-connections/ So if you have a boat with no wiring then no EWOF required but if you plug the lead into your boat then you do. Lots of past posts here on this

Watched it last night and have to say surprised it's taken so long to be mentioned here Thought they were lucky Lucky the weather didn't go bad Lucky no one was injured Lucky they didn't need a raft Lucky their chart plotter stayed working

Doesn't work for me most of the time either, unless you have plenty of time to downsize the photo and then muck around trying to get the physical size to be small enough. Tried a few times of late, and if you have a few to post for example a race well..... But then it's probably me as well.
