SHIP COVE

The site of Ship Cove celebrates the foundation of the nation as we know it today; the place where two peoples meet for the first time. The initial brief from the Department of Conservation was to design a shelter for the end of the Queen Charlotte walk and upgrade the ablutions. This evolved to include a bridge and outdoor furniture. The successful completion of the job represents an extraordinary partnership between the government and the two iwi with affiliations to the site, Te Atiawa and Rangitane.
