Doppelmayr New Zealand is delighted to support the New Zealand first roading initiative that enables Waka Kotahi NZ
Transport Agency to bring forward the start of construction of the Te Ara o Te Ata: Mt Messenger Bypass.
In partnership with the Mt Messenger Alliance, Doppelmayr New Zealand has been developing the cableway project for over
two years and its specialist team will complete the installation and support the cableway throughout the life of the
project.
Doppelmayr New Zealand General Manager Garreth Hayman says that ropeways are used around the world to transport people
and goods across otherwise difficult terrains and that the company is thrilled to supply the temporary cableway in New
Zealand.
“As providers of sustainable, low-impact transport options for passengers and for goods and services, we are delighted
to support this solution that will reduce environmental impact and improve the build time of Te Ara o Te Ata while
supporting Waka Kotahi and Ngāti Tama’s intensive pest management programme.
“We’re excited to bring innovative ropeway solutions to New Zealand, and I want to thank the Alliance and Waka Kotahi
for being willing and able to look at the project differently to achieve an outstanding outcome.”
