Work began in March 2025 on a 5 metre wide pathway adjacent to the Nelson Marina. This promenade will provide a safe space for all users, including cyclists, walkers, mobility scooters users or wheelchair users.

This project is part of the wider Marina Masterplan.

When the construction is complete, the area will be landscaped, with lighting a key element to make sure it is safe and visible.

Works began in the Southern Zone (along Akersten Street) first and now will progress from Ruby’s Café to Jetty F.

This project is being funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment through a $1.13m grant and by Nelson Marina.

Following the construction, the area will be landscaped, with lighting a key element to make sure it is safe and visible.
