That is the message in number 10 of the “Matters under Action” section of tonight’s Waikanae Community Board meeting agenda:

“There is currently no plan or significant budget to address the existing beach hall, which must be strengthened by December 2033 if it is to remain open. “

It’s pretty poor that this should be the case. I was pushing for action on this when I was on the WCB in 2020, and even investigated designs and construction methods. It seems that as what happened to the Waikanae Library the KCDC bureaucrats have been long aware there is a problem but have chosen to do nothing.
