NEW ESPLANADE.
PT. CHEVAEIER WATERFRONT COMPREHENSIVE SCHEME. * As >a direct result of unemployed labour being available, the Auckland City Council was able to embark on a comprehensive seafront improvement scheme at Point Chevalier, and an already popular suburban beach has been made more accessible for Point Chevalier residents and visitors.
There is a considerable area fronting the beach, much of it a sloping hillside, with a email area of table land. For the past few months relief workers have been engaged in improvement work. On the hillside a tangle of undergrowth has been removed and paths of easy grade have been built, and on the foreshore a wide path, flanked with a rock seawall, has been constructed.
The Point Chevalier beach is regarded as one of the safest in Auckland for bathing, owing to the gentle way it shelves. At high tide the water comes right up to the seawall; when the tide is lower there is a wide expanse of clean sand, which is a happy playground for children.
