Proposal of New Waiheke Electric Ferry Service

Come and hear how Club Member Simon Jones spends some of his time when not working with Dove Hospice.  

Simon says...

"After several years developing and advocating for this proposal with Auckland Council, AT and Orakei Local Board it is exciting to commence public consultation (referencing our project) to establish a new electric ferry service for cars, bikes and people connecting Orakei Landing with Kennedy Point on Waiheke Island. We’re focussed on delivering a safer, closer and more environmentally friendly alternative to the current monopoly diesel powered services operated by Sealink (the red ferries).

We anticipate keen interest in and support for this proposal from both Waihekians and Aucklander’s passionate about improving access to and from this beautiful Island in a new electric ferry service - a first for Auckland".

Simon will explain this inspiring 'green' project and update on the February Public consultation and let us know if they received enough support to start planning for the inaugural cruise from Orakei Landing.
