A stylised map showing where the new Corks Road to Lake Drive footpath will be built.

We built a 300 metre footpath between Lake Drive and Corks Road in Tikipunga.

This new footpath forms a part of the development of the neighbouring Bupa retirement village. We have worked together with Bupa Retirement Village to create this new pedestrian link.

The footpath curves around the existing retaining wall constructed by Bupa retirement village. It crosses the existing stream via a new culvert at the northern end, connecting to the existing Lake Drive footpath.

The frontage was tidied by removing fencing and installing bollards. We also completed some minor drainage work to make the area more easy to maintain and safer for all road users and pedestrians.

Water conservation

There are currently no water restrictions in place in Whangārei District.
However, residents in Te Kamo, Hikurangi, Tikipunga, Whau Valley, Three Mile Bush, and Otangarei are asked to reduce water use until February 2025 to allow for repairs on the northern water-supply network.

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.
