Berth and public access improvements

About the project

With Westhaven Marina’s pontoon berths operating at almost full capacity, there is a growing demand for new walk-aboard berths in Auckland. One of the solutions outlined in the 2013 Westhaven Plan is the Pile Berth Redevelopment project.

What’s involved

Stage one of the project began in 2019, with the formation of a new reclamation/headland extending the northern end of the marina. The less-utilised pile berths were then consolidated to make space, and the marina’s western entrance was closed off to reduce the tidal effect on boats in this section of the marina. While the reclamation settled, 90 new floating berths were constructed.

Stage two of the project commenced in February 2023, and involved extending the Westhaven Promenade boardwalk along the southern side of the reclamation, installing new utility services, and constructing a new car park with landscaping.

Over the coming years, the lawn area will be developed to create an attractive green space where people can enjoy getting close to the water.
