Work is underway to replace the retaining wall at Ōpunakē Beach says South Taranaki District Council (STDC) group manager of infrastructure and community services, Fiona Aitken.
Aitken says the existing retaining wall, which runs alongside the picnic area at Ōpunakē Beach, is deteriorating and is no longer safe.
“We’re replacing the old wall with a new “Stonebloc” interlocking gravity retaining wall. Local contractors Excavat will be doing the installation which is planned to be completed by mid-June. weather dependent,” says Aitken.
“The new wall costs approximately $130,000 and will be a great asset for the community,” she says.
