There are gates in Orakei Basin that are there to control the water level. These gates are leaking and need to be replaced. The Auckland City Council is currently working on the design of the new gates.

Why do they need the Gates? ** Orakei Basin is filled with sea water, but there is no natural movement coming from it (waves, rips) which means that it can get very dirty, and very smelly. This is why they need the gates, to empty the water out and bring in fresh water. The water is emptied out every Tuesday and a fresh supply is bought in.
