The repairs were expected to cost $350,000, and funding was secured earlier this year. Horowhenua District Council project manager Tony Parsons said half of the work would be paid by the Foxton Beach Freeholding Account and the rest from the Horowhenua District Council and Horizons Regional Council. The Manawatū Marine Boat Club used the wharf frequently and would also fund some repair work. Local contractor Caldow Builders would complete the work and Horowhenua District Council’s Infrastructure Development Group would manage the project. They would be on-site from next week. Up to 800 tonnes of rock would strengthen the wharf and help prevent storm damage for many years.
