Pine Harbour - Roadworks
From Monday, 3 November, a one-way system will be in place at Pine Harbour Marina from just past the Coffee Collective carpark entrance to just after the showroom.
Traffic lights will operate to manage flow, phased to favour incoming traffic in the morning and outgoing traffic in the afternoon and evening.
This temporary change is required to complete essential drainage and groundworks along the roadway. Please allow extra time when travelling through the area.
Protect the Gulf
Remember to ensure your vehicles are clean before arriving at our terminals as heavily soiled vehicles and machinery may be turned away from our vessels due to fear of spreading Kauri Die Back Disease to the Hauraki Gulf Islands.
For more information on SeaLink's commitment to keeping the Hauraki Gulf beautiful click here.
