Port Marlborough proposes to extend Waikawa Marina to accommodate approximately 500 additional berths, plus associated parking and services to support the expanded marina.

The extension will be a two- stage development, phased such that the first stage would be completed prior to commencement of the second stage. One stage would see an extension to the North West along the coast of The Snout, with a one hectare reclamation along the shoreline providing access, parking, and extending to a northern breakwater. The other stage would overlay the Marina Zone to the North East of the existing marina with extension of the existing mole to accommodate services, access and parking, and a rubble breakwater at the seaward edge.

The specific configuration of berths at each site is yet to be confirmed pending completion of the technical design, however the extensions will each be of similar capacity at around 250 berths.

The proposal incorporates realignment of the existing vehicle access and parking arrangements to the launching ramp. The trailer boat launching facility will remain in its existing position within the marina and a new beach will be established at the northern edge of the North West Extension, with accommodation for dinghy storage for the nearby swing moorings.
