Marina Updates
Our Projects and Maintenance team have been hard at work implementing upgrades and projects for our Marina and customers.
CCTV Enhancements
Our Security and Surveillance program continues to undergo rolling improvements. This year, we’ve upgraded the pier gate cameras and further optimized our CCTV network. A new camera has been strategically placed to cover the Gate 3 entrance, Administration, and the Trailer Park, offering a southward view.
The CCTV system plays a crucial role in our business administration, with footage occasionally requested by external authorities for their investigations. Already this year, we have provided footage to NZ Customs and NZ Police.
New Dock Carts
In April 2024, we purchased 13 new dock carts to replace those taken offline last year due to being beyond economical repair. We now have over 100 carts across the Marina and our 16 piers. We kindly request all customers to return the dock carts to the car park and the designated cart parking area after use.
Please note that the plastic dock carts are not designed for heavy loads such as anchor chains or multiple batteries. For such tasks, we provide a heavy-duty steel four-wheel cart located in the alcove by our Operations Office. Please return this cart to its location after use.
Marina WiFi Update
The marina WiFi has been operational for some time, and as a refresher for new customers, the complimentary WiFi on the piers includes three separate networks: 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and GHM Instruments (for alarm monitoring and electronic system upgrades). The weekly requirement to validate customer credentials and accept terms and conditions has now been extended to a monthly revalidation.
New Barrier Arms
New barrier arms have been installed and are now operational for our Trailer Park and the Eastern Car Parks (N&O Pier) providing a secure area for customers’ vehicles. The Trailer Park is accessible only via the Inugo app from a customer’s mobile device, with no swipe card/key fob access or license plate recognition. The new eastern barrier incorporates license plate recognition but does not include proximity card or key fob access.
For any inquiries regarding this, please contact our Marina Office at 09 4246200 or VHF Ch 73 for assistance.
T Pier Path Extension
An extension to the public pathway to T Pier has been completed, featuring a 1.5-meter-wide compacted crushed concrete path, allowing all-weather and dry access to the pier. For those with the time and who enjoy a nice stroll, there is a scenic walkway around the northeastern end of our Marina, accessible from the end of Harbour Village. Public seating is available along this walkway for resting or simply pondering life, – dreaming of being back at sea!
