Seatoun Tunnel Repainting

The Seatoun Tunnel, constructed in 1906–1907 by the former Miramar Borough Council, is a historically significant structure connecting the Wellington suburbs of Seatoun and Strathmore. It served as a key link for Wellington’s tram system and remains the main access point for Seatoun. Measuring approximately 144 meters in length and 8.2 meters in width, the tunnel now requires maintenance work. This includes cleaning and repainting the internal surfaces (walls and ceiling), the handrail and railing, the fencing above the Seatoun portal and the retaining wall at the Miramar end. Additionally, the footpath requires cleaning as well. As such, we are now requiring a qualified supplier to carry out painting and related maintenance works on the Tunnel.
