Survey - Ferry Connection to the Miramar Peninsula
2026-03-27 - 2026-04-10
Kia ora everyone. We’re exploring the potential for a ferry connection between the Eastern Bays and the Miramar Peninsula (Seatoun / Shelly Bay).
This short 1–2 minute survey will help us understand:

Community interest
Likely usage
What would make the service work

Your feedback will be shared with East by West Ferries and council to support a potential pilot.
Complete the survey here: https://forms.gle/hyW19EU5gEQ3h13e6
This survey will be open for responses over the next 2 weeks and will close on Friday 10th April. We’d really value your input!
Please share with neighbours and local groups — the more responses we get, the stronger the case. If you have any issues with the survey contact the ECB
