North Wharf and Old Wharf

Both wharves are on the Northern side of the peninsula, the North Wharf on Wakatu Quay, and the Old Wharf on Avoca Street.  Both wharves are in a bad state of repair.  Designs are currently being drawn up to replace the North Wharf, and construction will commence pending agreement from the users on the final design and cost.
