The Waitaki District Council has funding available for both projects, which will be considered by its harbour subcommittee on Monday.
Options have been discussed by the subcommittee and the harbour users' group, including where repairs should be carried out and future use of the wharf.
Council corporate services group manager Carolyn Carter said the next step was to have OCEL Consultants carry out a detailed inspection of the wharf around the sheds to determine what length could be reinstated for $100,000.
At the same time, the attachment points for the floating wharf would be identified.
Initial investigations determined there was no need to repair the whole wharf, but a shorter length needed to be brought up to standard for vehicle access.
If the inspection was approved by the subcommittee, it would include determining the conditions of piles and decking by making small drill holes to check the condition of the timber, she said.
