One obvious option for Cathedral Cove
DOC has published a 30 page report with options for restoring walking access to Cathedral Cove, which close almost 18 months ago. It is unbelievable that it has remained closed for so long, especially having just been ranked one of the world’s top 50 beaches.
The obvious priority is option 2A which is stick in a new boardwalk on the one section where it is damaged, and put in some steps from the beach. This should have actually happened automatically- take a week or so.
After you get access going, then you can consult on which long term solution is chosen, so long as it isn’;’t the one to ban visitors from walking in.
