Hawke's Bay Regional Council

Westshore Re-nourishment

This request for quote (RFQ) details the requirements set out by the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (HBRC) for the selection of a Contractor to work with HBRC to provide professional services to replenish material eroded from Westshore Beach by coastal storm events.

The Westshore Beach Re-Nourishment Programme involves carting material from designated quarry sites and placing it on Westshore Beach to replace material eroded over the previous 12 months. The works usually take place from September to November each year so that the beach is in good condition over the summer months when public use is high. The first contract was carried out in 1974 with the borrow site being the wildlife ponds at Ahuriri. The borrow site shifted to Marine Parade in 1993. In more recent times, a combination of run of river material has been utilised together with material supplied through procurement from local gravel suppliers.

The re-nourishment area is from the northern end of the Esplanade to the rocks at the southern section of Westshore beach at Whakariri Ave. This project is in the Long Term Plan for Council and is jointly funded by Napier City Council (NCC) and HBRC.
