Cathedral Cove track and structures replacement

2 December 2024

Frame Group is very excited to have played a key role in the successful reopening of land-based access to the extremely popular, and iconic, Cathedral Cove Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula. Access had been closed for almost two years following severe weather events destroying parts of the walkway.

Frame Group attended the official opening on Sunday 1 December that was led by the Minister of Conservation, Tama Potaka.

Working with the Department of Conservation and Ngāti Hei, Frame Group designed and construction managed the approved temporary solution. The solution includes stairs, boardwalk (incorporating cultural design elements), boxed steps and track. Prior to this work, Frame Group worked with DOC and Ngāti Hei, together with Tonkin & Taylor in respect of geotechnical considerations, on a Feasibility Study to provide options in respect of both temporary and permanent land-based access solutions.

The opening on Sunday achieves the publicly stated goal of the Minister to have access reopened for this summer season. When you visit take a photo and be sure to tag us!
