The Te Awaparahi Bay reclamation project is a critical initiative for the future of Lyttelton Port and the wider Canterbury and South Island economy.

The reclamation is being carried out under a comprehensive construction environmental plan and a sustainability framework based on international best practices developed specifically for the Te Awaparahi Bay project.

We have worked extensively with partners to increase the health of Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour and remain deeply committed to this work.
