2026-11-03

The Ministry for Cities, Environment, Regions and Transport (MCERT) is seeking proposals from experienced contractors for the replacement of a 20 metre section of quay wall at the Landing Reserve Dinghy Basin, Lake Taupō. The affected area has since been fenced off to prevent public access. Continued deterioration threatens adjacent marina assets and public safety, disrupt operations, and increase the likelihood of costly emergency repairs, reinforcing the need for timely remediation to maintain safe and reliable marina operations.A section of the existing quay wall has reached the point of structural failure, with the footing undermined and the surrounding area fenced off to protect public safety. Without timely remediation, continued deterioration threatens adjacent marina assets, disrupts operations, and increases the likelihood of costly emergency repairs. The solution will restore structural integrity by installing new steel sheet piles, removal of the compromised wall, and reinstating the surface and services to current standards. The design has been developed to modern engineering requirements, includes a 50‑year design life.The Lake Taupō Harbourmaster (now a MCERT function) is responsible for the safety and management of Lake Taupō, including oversight of water services and compliance with relevant policies and legislation. Completing this work will restore safe access to the marina and support lake users in time for the busy summer season.Please note: The draft contract document will be issued via an addendum once available. Respondents are encouraged to subscribe to this notice on GETS to receive automatic notification when the document is available.
