A total of 17 of the 30 footpaths that will be funded by the Rodney Local Board’s targeted transport rate, introduced in 2018, have been completed. In total, the board will spend just over $24 million to deliver about 10 kilometres of new pathways.

Footpaths completed since July last year included Pakiri Road and Albert Street at Leigh, Leigh Road at Whangateau, Point Wells Road, School and Olympus Roads in Wellsford, Wech Drive Warkworth, Ahuroa School Road, and Puhoi Road.

Projects currently in construction are in Old Woodcocks Road (due to be finished on June 20), School Road footpath and pedestrian crossing in Kaipara Flats (June 20), Kaipara Flats Road (June 20), Goodall Road footpath and school connection, Snells Beach (June 20), Rodney Street, Wellsford (June 13), and Rodney Street bridge and footpath connections in Wellsford (mid-August).

A footpath in Mason Heights in Warkworth is in the final stages of design, with construction expected to start in the next few weeks.
