Marine Parade Coastal Pathway

Bay of Plenty

A shared pathway through a sensitive coastal environment

The primary shared pathway spans the 3.5km stretch of coastal margin at Mount Maunganui. It is built with a combination of concrete and timber depending on the specific environment. These material selections reduce impacts on the natural environment and create an enduring pathway while minimising maintenance.

The project included extensive dune revegetation, enhancement of stormwater treatment areas and provision of native trees for shade. Boffa Miskell worked closely with mana whenua, ensuring that cultural narratives and the telling of important kōrerō are embedded into the design, both overtly and in subtle ways.
