WHAKATANE RIVER BRIDGE
PROTECTION COSTS £1500
Writing the Whakatane County Council in connection with the erosion taking place upstream from the township bridge, the. P.W.D. stated that the estimated cost of protection work would amount to £1500, being £200 for three boom groynes and £1300 for river bank protection on. the left bank for a distance of approximately 20 chains. The remedy suggested is battering of the bank on a 1 to 1 slope and the protection of the toe with rock spawls; the work to be carried out by the Department. The Council was asked if it was prepared to contribute one-third of the. cost,, approximately £500, the balance to be contributed by the Main Highways Board and the Rivers Control Council.
After a brief discussion it was decided that the County Chairman be deputed to confer with the District Engineer on the occasion of the next District Highways Council meeting.
