The Government's promised an extra financial boost to help Coromandel’s closed Cathedral Cove track open up by summer.
The popular beach has been inaccessible by land since February last year, after being damaged by landslides caused by Cyclone Gabrielle.
DOC has been allocated $5 million to plan, build, reopen and maintain walking access to the cove.
Conservation Minister Tama Potaka says they've done their due diligence to create the perfect short-term fix.
"The first part is to get the short-term fix for Christmas this year, so we can be down there in December. The long-term fix might take a couple years to work through and figure out how to make it sustainable."
