Momorangi Bay boat Ramp future proofing and maintenance
Marlborough
A working group was created by the Marlborough Harbourmaster to come up with a viable solution to the Momorangi Bay boat ramp as his office had complaints by members of the public, as vessel owners were launching off the beach where public swim at Momorangi Bay. Members from DOC, MNZ, the local Bach owners and Marlborough Council (including an ecologist) where present at the meeting and the following was agreed upon:
The creek redirected back to original bed that flowed down into the bay. Boulders to be placed to ensure the creek would not divert back into the boat ramp area, these boulders should if possible copy the ones used around the foreshore area. The original boat ramp hole dug out, DOC requested the extracted mud and gravel be deposited against the retaining wall where erosion has uncovered the concrete foundations.
The work completed to the creek will blend into the landscape and will not affect the existing ecology as all work is below the mean high water line.
Excavator work and boulder supply to be completed by a local company Leslie Bros Contracting Ltd and will be paid for through this givealittle page. Marlborough Council have given authority for the work to be completed.
The quote is for $21,764 ($18,025.00 + GST plus 5% for givealittle fees)
