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.
