Located at Punakaiki, Punangairi is the new gateway to Paparoa National Park and the iconic Pancake Rocks experience. Kūmānu was engaged by Naylor Love to deliver the landscape construction for this nationally significant site, where craftsmanship, cultural expression, and the raw beauty of the West Coast come together.
The project demanded exceptional planning and adaptability. Remote access, limited availability of local materials, and extreme weather conditions meant construction methods had to be carefully staged and tightly coordinated with DOC, local businesses, and multiple contractors operating within a live visitor environment. Minimising truck movements and supporting local suppliers were central values woven into project delivery.
