Detail

Dairy Flat will be home to New Zealand’s first surf park, featuring the advanced Wavegarden Cove technology for year-round surfing. Thanks to our expert team of engineers and surveyors, we successfully navigated the Fast-Track process, ensuring quick approval by the Ministry for the Environment.

Ground broke on this project 3 December 2024, and the entire park is set to open 2025/2026.

In addition to the surfing lagoon, the park will feature eco-friendly infrastructure such as a solar farm, a renewable-energy-powered data centre, and sustainability initiatives like zero-carbon concrete and rainwater harvesting. Expected to create over 400 jobs during construction and provide a significant boost to the Auckland economy, the project is forecast to generate over $600 million in economic benefits over its lifetime.

With sustainability and local engagement at the forefront, the Auckland Surf Park has also partnered with local iwi and organizations such as Surfing New Zealand, making it an eco-conscious development.

By partnering with McKenzie & Co., Aventuur’s vision for an inclusive, sustainable surf destination is fast becoming a reality. Learn more about how our expert engineering and surveying services helped drive the success of this project.
