Castlecliff Beach development
$150,000
Castlecliff
Beach will once again be a desirable spot for swimming and recreation
for the whole family.
Developing the beach will involve flattening the sand
between the car park and sea, removing some of the low dunes and driftwood,
sprucing up the buildings, and building wind and sand breaks.Weeds
will be removed and appropriate species planted to stabilise the dunes.
It's proposed that during the next year, $150,000 will
go towards resource consents and some of the physical work required.
Ongoing maintenance costs, e.g. managing constant sand build-up, removal
of driftwood and other debris, are estimated at $50,000 annually.
