This consultation closed on 10 December 2021. Thank you for having your say.
We received 176 submissions for this consultation. Twelve responses came via email and 164 came via our online survey.
Key feedback themes
77 people downloaded/viewed the proposal documentation to understand what was being proposed and why.
89.6 per cent (155) lived within 5-10 minutes’ drive of Big Manly Beach.
43 per cent of respondents supported the installation of bollards along the beachfront to protect the reserve, dunes and trees and provide additional shade. 56 per cent were opposed to the idea.
41 per cent of respondents agreed with the proposal to install bollards which would result in limited parking along an approximately 330-metre stretch on The Esplanade. 55 per cent disagreed with this proposal.
Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has approved the installation of bollards and ground stabilisation materials at Manly beachfront, along The Esplanade.
The board has allowed staff to make minor changes to the exact placement of the bollards due to site topography and location of tree roots so long as placement is in general accordance with the final plan.
The board will ask Auckland Transport to investigate improvements to The Esplanade road surface to bring it up to an acceptable standard and to provide further parking in the road reserve.

We propose to install timber bollards along a section of Big Manly Beach on The Esplanade in Whangaparaoa to protect the reserve, trees and sand dunes.
