Waka Hub Design and Engineering Services

Napier City Council (NCC) is seeking design and engineering services for a new Waka Hub in Ahuriri.
This exciting project will establish the first purpose-built waka mooring for ocean-going waka in New Zealand’s North Island and provide a world class public space that showcase celestial navigation and its cultural significance to Aotearoa.

The aim of this project is to create a vibrant and attractive destination that celebrates the cultural significance of waka hourua and enhances the tourism potential of the area.
This initiative will involve the relocation of the Te Matau-a-Māui mooring from the southern end of Ahuriri Harbour to an area adjacent to the Napier Sailing Club, providing a safe harbour for Te Matau-a-Māui waka (and other waka as necessary).
The whare waka structure will be used to welcome visitors, host tour groups, and support existing activities based at the waterfront. The wider Waka Hub facility will also provide toilets, changing facilities and educational storyboards as part of the urban realm connecting the whare with the surrounding area.
