Connecting communities to each other and to the river
Te Whau Pathway Project is more than just building a shared path. It is about making great communities even better. The pathway, following 12 kilometres of riverbank between Te Atatu and New Lynn, will open up access to one of the most beautiful rivers in Auckland.
Construction paused fox six months
Statement from Te Whau Pathway Environment Trust
“On 23rd February 2023, Council paused the project for six months. Construction work stopped. This is a waste of $9 million already spent – Te Atatū South site offices at McCormick Green and Bridge Ave are already set up and materials have arrived. Before the project was paused, the abutment (the beginning of the section behind the Te Atatū Boat Club) had already begun. To get construction going again, go to our “Restart the Project” page and make a submission to the Council by Tuesday 28 March 2023. Thank you for all your support.”
The pathway will connect neighbouring suburbs, connect two harbours via Green Bay, offer amazing recreational choices and lead to safer and more sustainable alternatives for travel. Pathways like these bring tourists and stimulate local economies. Above all, Te Whau Pathway Project aims to nurture a sense of pride, ownership and kaitiakitanga in the Whau River, one of the jewels in West Auckland’s crown.
