Waira¯kei landscape plan

Tangata whenua, with Tauranga City Council elected members, led a blessing on the banks of the Waira¯kei Stream on Thursday to mark the beginning of a landscape enhancement plan. The Waira¯kei Landscape Plan involves upgrading and enhancing the landscape along the 10km Waira¯kei Stream corridor from Pacific View Rd in Papamoa to the Te Tumu boundary, including Taylor Reserve. The works will include landscaping, new footpaths, boardwalks and bridges, signage and park furniture, and about 500,000 new plants.
