In preparation for the tourist season the Nelson Harbour Board has tidied up the area around the ramp at the small boat harbour. The area in the foreground has been levelled and the incline made less acute. This will allow owners of rowing boats and dinghies and small craft to beach their boats more easily. In the background (arrowed) is the board's new amenities block which incorporates toilets and a sizeable room for which a purpose has yet to be found-a canteen, perhaps.
