Some exciting projects in current planning include a large format retail store in the commercial Gateway Zone on Joan Gaskell Drive and a sports ground complex to be developed for Thames Coromandel District Council, intended for local community use.
Whitianga Waterways is a joint venture project between Hopper Developments Ltd and the original landowners. Planning for the project began in the mid 1990's with all necessary consents being granted at the end of 2000 and beginning of 2001 with an act of Parliament needed in the final stages allowing the project to go ahead.
Airey Consultants Limited is privileged to have been involved in this development as Project Engineers since inception in the mid 1990's.
