The council's annual beach clean-up, from The Cut to Midway Beach started yesterday with work expected to be completed by the end of the week.
The driftwood will be chipped offsite by Siteworx Civil Ltd, and the wood chips will then be available free of charge to the community from
next Tuesday at DB Judd Holdings in MacDonald Road, Matawhero. A council spokewoman said the contractors will work around the tides and outside high-use times to get the job completed.
“The clean-up will cost $38,500 funded from the council's reserve maintenance contract. The public are asked to keep well clear of contractors and machinery while the work is taking place.”
