Construction of the seawall on Ōrewa Beach, from Kohu St to Marine View, is expected to begin towards the end of this month, or early in August.
The selection of a company contracted to do the work is imminent, after the tender period closed in mid-May.
Auckland Council Resilient Land & Coasts general manager Paul Klinac says evaluation of the tenders is underway, and staff are currently seeking clarification from tenderers on aspects of their proposals.
Once a contract is awarded, council will discuss options with the contractor around staging of the works and what can be achieved this year.
“All contractors have indicated that the project is able to be completed by the end of October 2025 as planned,” Klinac says.
