New Boardwalk Protects Kauri at Soldiers Bay | Auckland News

Auckland’s North Shore is getting a game-changing new boardwalk at Soldiers Bay — a $487K project designed to let everyone access the bay year-round, regardless of tide, while protecting endangered kauri trees from dieback. Replacing an old, unreliable path of stepping stones, this upgraded walkway includes a bridge and replaces closed trails like Muriel Fisher and Kauri Park. Built with community input, it’s part of Auckland Council’s broader effort to balance public access with environmental care. Construction began July 27 and wraps up by mid-November — expect some temporary closures. It’s a smart, sustainable solution for nature lovers and conservationists alike.
