Update on Te Otamanui Walkway

A helper from Te Kowhai Community Group

On the 23rd of February, another 250 metres of the pathway was gravelled. Community Group volunteers, who placed the 80 tonnes of gravel, included Gordon McLachlan, Graham McBride, Brian Palmer, Donald Sam, Noel Smith, John Stock, assisted by Sam Furniss on his digger.

With the previous section that was gravelled in January, this has seen the finishing of an additional half kilometre walkway of already this year.

The Te Kowhai Community Group anticipates that the next section, on the former ‘Henton’ property, about 600 metres, will be operational within six months. This will finally link the path from The War Memorial Hall to the path already formed in the Coombes Road area.

Look out for a call for volunteer-planters in May or June - 3500 native trees, grasses and shrubs will be placed in the area of the path at that time.
