From next week, part of the Nukuhau boat ramp will be closed for approximately two weeks, as work gets underway to remove the now obsolete rails on the boat ramp.
Historically, the rails were used to get larger craft into the water, however, these are no longer used so will be removed and the surface filled and concreted.
Facilities officer Heath Holdsworth is pleased the works are being done, with safety in mind.
“Council has received feedback that the rails are slippery and vehicles are losing traction on them so we’re pleased to be able to get them out before summer and get the ramp up to scratch before we get to another busy summer,” he said.
The ramp will be partially open during the works, which will begin next Thursday August 27, and is expected to be complete by September 12.
Boaties are asked to please be patient when accessing the water during the project.
Thank you for your understanding.
