Manuka Causeway

Otago Commercial

Our Otago team were proud to be a part of the unveiling of Manuka Causeway at Wall St Mall. The Dunedin City Council engaged an artist to construct a model for the base and our team worked with the archaeologists to place the original timbers that have been preserved into the display case in the original positions.

The Manuka Causeway is one of the oldest known structural evidence of the European settlement of Dunedin, which was found 1.3m underground more than a decade ago during the construction of the shopping mall. The reinstalled causeway has now been revealed to the Dunedin community, which is a great piece of history that everyone can come and see.
