Weona Walkway Coastal Pathway Construction Project in Westmere

The Waitemata Local Board has developed a coastal walkway project along Westmere’s coastal reserve land, named Weona Walkway and part of a programme to create a coastal pathway from Meola Reef to the Hobson Bay walkway via Parnell This walkway will provide an attractive walking amenity for the local community as well as visitors.

It will increase connectivity between reserve land and provide additional walkways for pedestrian enjoyment. The 1.4km long coastal walkway, a mix of aggregate walkway and boardwalk, will be built on council reserve land and the coastal marine area. This area runs between Westmere Park, at the end of Westmere Park Ave and Lemington Reserve, accessible from Lemington Road.

A staged approach is being proposed for this complex project in a sensitive environment. This RFT covers the track works only between the access at Westmere Park Avenue and the access at Weona Place (Stage 1 of the project). The proposed works consist in the development of a formed unsurfaced pathway. This procurement seeks to procure a physical works contractor to execute the installation of the pathway.
