Ohope Wharf Carpark Redevelopment
Transforming a key Whakatāne community space
The Ohope Wharf Carpark Redevelopment project involved the complete reconstruction of an existing coastal carpark at Port Ohope Wharf.
Crossroads Civil delivered full civil works, from earthworks and drainage to paving and landscaping, to create a safer, more functional, and visually appealing public space for locals and visitors alike.
Located at 340 Harbour Road, Ohope, the site required careful planning and execution to meet both Whakatāne District Council’s infrastructure standards and the environmental considerations of a waterfront setting.
