Rosebank Boardwalk
Current design – new boardwalk
Existing timber boardwalk

Alternative Design – fill embankment
![Page 27: Project Update Community Liaison Group...2013/08/13 · • Community Liaison Group (CLG) meetings • Freephone 0800 444 449 | Mention “Causeway” • Causeway News – regular](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060216/5f061d1a7e708231d4165bb6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Alternative Design – fill embankment
![Page 28: Project Update Community Liaison Group...2013/08/13 · • Community Liaison Group (CLG) meetings • Freephone 0800 444 449 | Mention “Causeway” • Causeway News – regular](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060216/5f061d1a7e708231d4165bb6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Alternative Design – fill embankment
Benefits compared to a 3m wide timber boardwalk: • Improved amenity and user experience from consistent width
• Improved sightlines for users with no balustrades
• Continuation of asphalt surface along path
• Constructability benefits – no temporary embankment for piling works in marine area (which is later removed)
• “Whole of life” solution - better design life and reduced maintenance requirements

Alternative Design - next steps
• Obtain feedback on the alternative design
• Changes to statutory approvals:
- Coastal consents
- Marine Reserves Act Authority
• Lodge applications with Auckland Council (consent changes) and the Department of Conservation (Marine Reserves Act Authority changes)
