Old wharf eyed for new Bayswater ferry The old wharf at Bayswater is being considered by Auckland Transport (AT) as a new location for a ferry terminal. Shifting the ferry facility north-east from its existing location on the corner of Bayswater Marina may mean strengthening is required for the old wharf.
Dredging will likely also be needed in what is considered a sensitive ecological area. The area is a breeding ground and home to a number of endangered shorebird species. AT has already acknowledged that getting resource consents for dredging to allow an all-tide ferry service will be a lengthy process,
with no guarantee of success. But it is understood to be focusing for now on what wharf-strengthening might be needed. Questions have arisen over ongoing access to the existing terminal location, due to the planned development of apartments on the privately owned marina land. To page 2
