Thanks for your patience while we recently completed critical structural repair work to the south end of the marina. The damage was the result stress from a recent storm on the aging timber.The broken main joists have now been replaced and new decking has been fixed. We now have full unrestricted access to all areas of the marina for the coming summer boating season.
A temporary access way has been made for birth owners wishing to access the marina. Access is limited and we recommend for loading and unloading large amounts of gear the use of the public jetty.
Works are projected to be complete by November 20th. Please take extra care as you move through the QLDC construction area.
Coastguard Wanaka Lakes has taken possession on their new Vessel ‘Waiariki’
The 9.5m Protector has the latest technology and equipment and was largely funded by Lotto NZ. They have distributed the Vessels used as support craft in the last americas cup to Coastguard units throughout NZ.
The new boat will be housed on the Marina for the summer enabling rapid response to vessels in need on Lake Wanaka.
Wānaka Marina director, Mike Barker, has long been in consultation with QLDC regarding Stage 5 of the overall Wānaka Lakefront Development Plan and how it impacts access and safety around the entrance to the marina. As you will be aware, the footpath has been left unfinished at the marina entrance and has presented a safety concern since the last phase foreshore development was completed.We now have confirmation that work on completing the task will begin on Monday October 31st and will late for two weeks.
The marina will still be accessible, however there will may be times where access is restricted and construction and asphalt work takes place.

We recommend a 24 hour stand-down on swimming, fishing or taking water for irrigation and domestic supply during and once the spraying is complete. This stand down will end at 7:00pm Thursday 19th May.
