Marlborough District Council Roading Assets - Activity Management Plan 2015 - 2018 SECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A comprehensive survey on usage of the jetties in Queen Charlotte Sound has been undertaken in the past and used to anticipate future demand. A similar detailed survey of jetties in Kenepuru/Pelorus Sound would be useful to ascertain the future needs of these jetties. Risks are summarised in the following table. The appropriate treatment strategy is managed through the RNMC.

Following this discussion it was agreed that a new Category 2(b) Jetties Servicing Sites of Historical/Cultural Significance be added, along with an explanation and noting that the Wairau Bar Jetty was the only jetty in this category. The effect of this new category is that the resolutions of the Assets and Services Committee are to be replaced by a new set of resolutions. Clrs Maher/Hope: 1. That the resolutions of the Assets and Services Committee under Minute No. A.09/10.481 (Wharves and Jetties Policy) be replaced by the following: That the management categories for jetties (with jetties classified into those categories) as listed below be confirmed: Category 1: Strategic Jetties The wharf/jetty facility is a necessary and strategic link in the district transport network (DTN). They are also key facilities in Marlborough’s tourism industry and are heavily used by commercial operators. Strategic jetties may also be important to the community as cultural and/or historical sites. It is vital that Council ensures that these are adequately maintained and are safe and fit for purpose. It is necessary that Council retains ownership and responsibility for funding capital improvements. Note: As these facilities are primarily (though not exclusively) used by commercial operators and the maintenance required is principally a result of their use, there is scope for exploring how and to what extent commercial operators may contribute to the ongoing costs of maintaining them. French Pass/d’Urville Elmslie Bay (French Pass) Kapowai (d’Urville Island) Kenepuru/Pelorus Sounds Portage Te Mahia Waitaria Bay Queen Charlotte Sound Torea Bay Onahau Bay Categoy(a)Comunity/AmeniyJetes A wharf or jetty in this category still has a role in the context of the DTN but much less so than the “strategic” jetties. Use is more recreational than commercial. The facility is highly valued and used by both the community at large and the local community and residents as a point of access and/or as an amenity for recreational purposes. 8 October 2014 Page 127 of Section 1
