FAQs
Is our wharf shed/shelter being replaced with a completely new one, like for like?
Auckland Transport has engaged a contractor from Kawau Island to construct brand new sheds at both wharves on Kawau Island.
The structures will be built with new materials and are intended to closely replicate the original designs.
It is noted that some unofficial modifications had previously been made to the former sheds by residents – these will not be replicated.
Are the wharf sheds being relocated?
The wharf sheds will not be relocated. The sheds will be dismantled and removed, and its materials will be returned to the community.
What happens to the material from the old wharves?
The materials will be returned to the community for local reuse. The community will decide how to repurpose them.
