Project Objectives

Protect infrastructure – both land based and marine
structures resilience

Provide for community amenity – Beach, Promenade,
Green open space, marine reserve

Support and invigorate Northland Tourism
and enhance visitor experiences

Ecologically, it is reported that the surface of the
boulders, and the voids between the boulders will
provide habitat for marine invertebrates and kelps.
Areas compromised will be exceeded by the new
habitat created. Report references Tutukaka Marina
and Marsden Point reclamation.

Breakwater design
▪ Trade off between breakwater height, lower
  breakwater means greater beach requirement.

Waterfront Modeling

▪ Tradeoff of breakwater height to beach size,
  modelling reviewed to ensure correct
  protection, and correct balance of structures.
▪ Sea rise, happening and will continue too,
  breakwater design has ability to be added
  onto in the future, to counter effects if
  needed.
▪ No intention to increase breakwater height
  above that proposed but design
  accommodates any long-term decisions
  around sea level rise.

Motumaire Island
Jennifer Hart, BECA

▪   No significant changes to beach and sand bar
▪   No build up of siltation inside breakwaters,
    sufficient tide movement to prevent static build up.
▪   General siltation not from new beach, stable beach,
    good heavy sands, groynes will just be from any
    current siltation.
▪   Improved storm water management from one new
    discharge point.

                                                           Paihia Waterfront Development   34

Te Ti Beach
John Papesch, Haigh Workman

▪   Foreshore movement, less than minor.
▪   Modeling shows a small movement of sand possibly build
    up on Western end and expected build up against the new
    groyne at Nihonui Pt on the eastern end of beach.
▪   Will not change the current ongoing erosion that is occurring
▪   Monitoring, have surveyed base data, beach is already
    changing, but measuring to that base data during
    construction and for minimum period of 10 years

                                                        Paihia Waterfront Development   33
