Erosion from Cyclone Gabrielle took out a section of the Buffalo Beach foreshore approaching State Highway 25.

We are extending the existing rock protection by about 30 metres north while gradually tapering it to help minimise the ‘end effects’ of wave action on the end of the proposed wall, a byproduct of all coastal hard structures.

We are also restoring the Buffalo Beach Road pathway that was damaged and carrying out landscaping.

Waikato Regional Council and our Council (via an independent commissioner) have both issued the necessary consents, and our Council appreciates the community’s patience while these consents were processed.

The design has been finalised and contractors Roadworx Ltd and LDE (Land Development and Engineering) hired to do the work.

Work is expected to start in mid-November 2024, weather permitting.

People will not be able to access the worksite during this time.
