Tasman Holiday Park

Tasman Holiday Park is a complex upgrade and expansion project delivered within a live, operational environment. The project integrates leisure infrastructure, accommodation, and site-wide civil and landscaping works to enhance guest experience while addressing challenging ground conditions and legacy infrastructure constraints.

High water table & natural springs

Active natural springs and a high water table created significant geotechnical challenges, requiring specialist assessment that informed foundation solutions across the site.

Live operational environment

The park remained open throughout construction, requiring close coordination with the client and park manager to sequence works and minimise disruption to residents.

Unknown infrastructure

No accurate service records existed, requiring investigative works to locate underground services and assess demolition scope before construction could begin.

Access & traffic management

Shared access between construction vehicles and park residents required a detailed traffic management plan to maintain safety throughout the build.

Consenting & council processes

Working with Hauraki District Council for the first time required adapting to their specific compliance and inspection processes to keep the programme on track.

Geotechnical-led design

Specialist geotechnical input directly shaped foundation solutions across the site, ensuring structural responses matched the variable ground conditions.

Driven pile foundations

Hot tub bases in a tight, congested area were supported on driven piles, requiring careful planning and heightened health and safety management.

Infrastructure upgrades

New drainage, roading, driveways, footpaths, and blackwater and greywater treatment systems were installed, with flooding improvements already evident post-completion.

Pool & leisure precinct

Works were delivered around an existing geothermal pool, with specialist filtration connections required for new supply feeds. Custom crazy paving, a bespoke water feature scaled to the existing pool wall, a curved deck and boardwalk, and pickleball courts completed the precinct.

Landscaping

Extensive soft and hard landscaping was completed across the site, with plant species carefully selected to withstand the unique combination of high water table, natural springs, and exposed wind conditions.

Accommodation

Six premium cabins were constructed on elevated platforms to address recurring flooding, with exposed trusses, delivered to a high architectural finish.

Facility upgrades

The existing ablution block was upgraded to current standards to support the park's expanded capacity.

Programme delivery

Delivered within a six-month timeframe despite significant weather delays, consenting complexity, and the challenge of building within a live operational environment.
