A BOAT HARBOUR.
AT- IT. MART'S BAT. • HARBOUR , • IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTION. , Included- in the-harbour development scheme submitted to! the Board yesterday is the.provision; of a .boat harbour for pleasure craft at.St. Mary's Bay. It was stated that the construction of a vehicular ferry landing at the western extremity of North Wall and i the utilisation of the" area west-of the breakwater was possible only if adequate protection from the heavy westerly weather, frequently- experienced in.Auckland, was provided. This could be accomplished, and, a double purpose be served by building a breakwater from the reef at Point Erin, to enclose an area of approximately 215 acres which would form a commodious and safe harbour for pleasure 'craft. :' This area was. at present shallow, but could, h& economically dredged by utilising the spoil to form the proposed 25}-acre reclamation-; west of the western breakwater. As funds became available, the simple"» protection thus afforded could be amplified by constructing a viaduct approach from Curran Street, and a roadway and area for boat and club houses is indicated on the plan.
