Global disruption due to Covid-19 have delayed the repair of the Warkworth pontoon.
The pontoon, together with a foot ramp, is usually attached to the wharf between Kapanui and Wharf Streets, where it rises and falls with the tide, giving boats easy access to the riverside.
However, it was removed for repairs in late summer, just before Level 4 lockdown was imposed. Auckland Council hoped to have the pontoon back in place last month but is still awaiting specialised parts from overseas because of problems associated with Covid.
Auckland Council community facilities manager Mike Feather says as soon as the parts arrive, the repair will be a key focus of the facilities team. “
We are on track to have the pontoon ready for the summer sailing season,” he says.
