Further images have been released of how parts of the Orewa seawall, between Kohu Street and Marine View, could look. The design is in its final stages, and expected to be finished next month. The 600m-long wall is made of grouted rock and includes access ramps and stairs to the beach and changes to Kinloch Reserve. A shared path will be on top of the wall for most of its length. Tendering is underway, with a contract expected to be awarded next March. Construction is planned to start next April and be staged over two years (from April to October 2024 and 2025) to avoid the busy summer season.
