Rangiputa Ratepayers Association
Rangiputa Ratepayers Association
Date started: Dune restoration started in 2009
Purpose of group: The Rangiputa Ratepayers Association is helping to restore the dunes at Rangiputa as an alternative to building a rock wall to control the erosion of the shoreline.
About the group: Prior to planting the bank was reshaped to recreate a natural dune shape and encourage plant growth. Fencing was erected around the planted area and a trailer parking area was put in behind the dune to reduce congestions on the beach, making it safer for other beach users and helping to protect the dune.
