Introduction
Wellington City Council has upgraded the Oriental Bay foreshore by enlarging and enhancing the existing Freyberg and Oriental Bay beaches, and creating a new beach east of the Band Rotunda.
There is more sandy space for Wellingtonians and visitors to the city to enjoy walking, playing or relaxing. More than 22,000 tonnes of sand, from a site inland of Golden Bay in the northern region of the South Island, was placed on the beaches.
The entire project has been funded by approximately $4 million from the Wellington City Council and approximately $3.5 million from the Plimmer Bequest.
