Caroline Bay - - - 15/8/1902 There will be no objection to the removal of the clay bank between the railway and the sea, as far as can be seen at present the material will not be required by the Department. The residents wish to improve the surroundings of Caroline bay by cutting down the clay cliff and making use of the material for forming ornamental grounds facing the Bay. Ashburton – Timaru Section - W 2478, 02/1944 WRD Canterbury S 6167
Caroline Bay - - - 19/9/1902 In order to restore this approach the Harbour Board wishes the Department to give up a portion of the railway land outside the curved siding to the main wharf. The Board would then form a suitable approach crossing the sidings to the Main Wharf and the Moody Wharf. Ashburton – Timaru Section - W 2478, 02/1944 WRD Canterbury S 6168
Caroline Bay - - - 19/9/1902 Prior to the removal of the old Landing Service sheds the road thereto was used to a considerable extent as a pedestrian approach from Strathallan Street to Caroline Bay, but the station yard alterations have cut this off and at present access from the south can only be obtained by the footbridge at 105 miles 43 chains, some 15 chains north of Strathallan Street.

Caroline Bay - - - 17/1/1903 The siding alterations necessitated the occupation of land which was not formerly in use by the Department but was used by the public as a pathway to Caroline Bay. A path is now being formed outside the sidings and this will suffice until the Harbour Board's contemplated works are completed. Ashburton – Timaru Section - W 2478, 02/1944 WRD Canterbury S 6171

Please have this provided. Ashburton – Timaru Section - W 2478, 02/1944 WRD Canterbury S 6173

Ashburton – Timaru Section - W 2478, 02/1944 WRD Canterbury S 6182
