Consultation has concluded and we will now review your feedback.
Tupua Horo Nuku Eastern Bays shared path is a 4.4 kilometre walking and cycling path to be built along Marine Drive between Ngau Matau (Point Howard) and Eastbourne. The name Tupua Horo Nuku evokes the narrative of the Tupua, Ngake, one of the two creators of the Harbour in traditional Māori narrative. The name was gifted to the project by Te Atiawa Taranaki Whānui, as part of the partnership between iwi and Hutt City Council.
Construction of the project has begun with work underway in Mā-Koromiko (Windy Point), and designs already completed for Sunshine Bay. Now we are continuing with detailed bay-specific designs for the next two bays planned to be built – York Bay and Mahina Bay, as well as Whiorau Reserve.
As this is the final stage of design before construction, many decisions have been made which have been consulted on during earlier phases of the project, you can see the timeline on this page for more details on that. This consultation gives you the opportunity to look at detailed design features like the locations of bus stops, beach access points, seating areas, and planting. The consultation closes 5pm 23 November 2022.
Following this stage, feedback on the plans will be incorporated where possible into the full Bay-Specific Urban Design Plans. These will then be submitted to the Eastbourne Community Board, East Harbour Environmental Association, and relevant Residents Associations for feedback, in line with the conditions of consent for the project (ref LV.6).
If you have any questions for the project team you can contact them at 0800 135 255.
