Mauao ("the Mount") is an iconic tourist destination which is walked by over 1,000,000 people per year. In April 2017, a series of significant storm events caused a large slip on the base track requiring a temporary track to be provided. A preferred alignment has been identified which would see a 350 m section of the track realigned to avoid failure-prone slopes.
The proposed works are in, or adjacent to, the coastal marine area and the site has high cultural and archaeological significance, as well as high landscape and ecological values.
A highly capable supplier is required to complete the construction of the realigned track. The works will comprise a combination of rock revetment and piled boardwalk within a site subject to significant access and environmental challenges.
