Transport

Helping communities get from A to B is a key responsibility of local government, from making sure the buses run on time to providing car parking and walking and cycling paths. Whether public transport is the responsibility of the regional or local council depends on where you are in the country. Local councils also own 87% of New Zealand’s roads.

  • Encourage walking and cycling.

    Half the population are not full time residents so transport has highs and lows and needs to be managed.

    Fully support proposed cycle lane to cycle park out of Whangamatā, but dealing with government easier said than done.

  • Promote a cycle/walkways strategy and include in Thames Coromandel District Council Long Term Plan and Waikato Regional Council regional plan. Include rules for E-scooters and E-skateboarders.

    Engage with submissions on the speed limits promoted by Waka Kotahi for community roads and highways.

    Promote a transportation system connecting towns and other transport services through out the Coromandel and beyond. Support gold card users.
