Wharves and Jetties
Our facilities are maintained and managed to provide for a range of recreational and commercial uses. Examples of these are recreational boat servicing, scenic and charter boat operations and commercial fishing/harvesting.
Many harbour control and administration functions that were previously undertaken by us are now undertaken by the Waikato Regional Council; particularly activities below the Mean High Water Mark (e.g. harbour administration, mooring permits, etc).
Land Information New Zealand also has some harbour control and administration functions under the Marine and Coastal Activities Act 2011.
Note for Whitianga Wharf users
Whitianga Wharf vehicle access will be closed from Monday 9 December to allow for the installation of a new barrier arm. Only approved wharf users will be able to access the area while work is being carried out. The works are being done to address health and safety issues and are expected to take two to three days. Pedestrians will still be able to access the wharf via the sidewalk.
