What’s happening? <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> Looking at the state of it I would guess this dates back to the original mid 80's upgrade and they are undertaking a full replacement |

It is G, H and J piers time to be pulled apart and rebuilt to maximise income for the council.
They are installing yet more things that are technically illegal but the people to talk to about stopping it and adhering to the laws of the land are the very people doing it, Panuku.
I believe Panuku is a Maori word for lieing greedy scum with arms plenty long enough to reach down very deeply into your bank account but not long enough to reach any books about the law and observing of them.
Basically another move to squeeze out the Ma n Pa boats so they can replace them with huge imported tupperware they can extract a shit load more coin from.
Panuku is one of the main reasons the sailing fleets in the harbour are decreasing and will continue to do so.

somewhat cynically I think they are replacing as much as possible while they can still fund it via our OPEX charge. Then when the leases end and they rent our berths to us at exorbitant rents, they will cut back on the maintenance like a well known property developer does elsewhere and make a shit ton of free cash.

Panuku, that fine upstanding organisation that pulled some shady deal with the council to avoid tax www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/110522994/auckland-council-plans-220m-tax-dodgeany private company doing that would probably have seen its directors charged. Then around the same time there was the "mysterious" resignation of the Chief Executive, scuttlebutt was he had been more than a little creative with his expenses. Westhaven is not the only newsworthy marina, Fairway Bay was taken over a few months ago by GH with all the promises about no changes, I understand the rental rates have since increased significantly, probably to match GH. I have some catamaran owning friends who were berthed there now contemplating selling the yacht due to the increase. i also heard another berth owner showed his exception to the increase in a rather extreme fashion that could result in a court appearance  . |

I think you can replace 'cynically I think' with 'like most I also think' oh too easily. |

There is a growing list of people in and around that organisation that have been quietly slide sideways out the door.
