Canal Structures
There are specific engineered designs for permitted canal structures. This includes jetty/pontoons and boat ramps. As a property owner, you must first constult with MCCML and seek to obtain written consent from the management company, prior to erecting any structures in the canal or the canal front yard. Only permitted structures will be given consent.
A specific set of guidelines must be adhered to before installing a jetty or boat ramp within the canal front yard and easement. This is to ensure we meet our Resource Consent obligations in accordance with the Resource Management Act 1991.
The authorised design for a jetty or boat ramp must comply with the standard requirements in accordance with the Engineering Diagrams and Specifications in the easement attached to your property Title.
Example of the Canal Profile can be located on the button below. If you require further guidance, please get in touch.
Pontoon/Jetty Guidelines
To ensure your vessel is properly secured, we recommend boat owners adopt the tie-down method found in the diagram. To view, click the Boat Tie-down Illustration button.
Boat Ramp Design
Private boats ramps can be installed in the locked stages, enabling easy access to the canal. The standard boat ramp is 3.5m in width and will consist of a concrete base extending to the low water mark. Management must be notified on commencement. All boat ramps must obtain written approval from MCCML or their representative and must adhere to engineering and building material specifications.
