Mair Park

Mair Park was part of the estate of Robert Mair, which he donated to the city in 1914. Follow the old coach road through mature lowland forest to the Hātea River and a large flat area of grass.

Feeding the ducks and fishing for sprats on the riverbank has been a popular activity for generations of local children.

A bridge leads across the river to Parihaka Scenic Reserve and the Hātea River walkway.

Investigating options for rating system

We are currently reviewing how rates are calculated to ensure they are still set in the fairest and most equitable way. If changes are proposed, we will seek community input through public consultation early next year. These changes will not impact the total amount of rates we collect, instead they will affect how we work out everyone’s share.
