Targeted rate footpath progress


A number of new footpaths have been built, are being constructed or are due to be started soon throughout the Warkworth subdivision, a Rodney Local Board workshop heard on November 8.

Former member Beth Houlbrooke, who is now Auckland Transport’s (AT) elected member relationship partner for northern board areas, provided an update on the latest paths funded from the Rodney Local Board transport targeted rate.

She said new paths had recently been completed in School Road, Wellsford and Pakiri Road, Leigh, while construction was underway at Leigh Road, Whangateau and Wech Drive in Warkworth.

She said contracts had been awarded to Wharehine for paths in Point Wells Road, Ahuroa Road and Olympus Road, Wellsford and were being finalised for Albert Street, Leigh; Puhoi Road, Puhoi; Goodall Road, Snells Beach; and Rodney Street, Wellsford. Houlbrooke added that AT was hoping to award contracts before Christmas for a package of Kaipara Flats footpaths, in Kaipara Flats Road, School Road and Old Woodcocks Road.
