Thames-Coromandel District Council
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.

Advocate strongly for sensible speed limits on the urban State Highway roads and for proper scheduled maintenance of the Kopu roundabout.
Advocate strongly to the regional council that public transport within and between communities is a necessity, especially Thames Coast.
Audit the provision of bicycle shelters and racks as a first step in making Thames bike friendly.
Collaborate with central government to enhance transport infrastructure, ensuring roads, bridges, footpaths and airfields are resilient.
Develop more walkways, footpaths and cycleways to improve public health, connect communities and boost local economies.
Work on strengthening and evolving public transport capabilities to make the district more accessible.
Keep the Thames Connector bus service running and work with WRC to look at expanding this to include other district communities.
Develop additional walking and cycling paths and tracks across the district to boost the local economy and complement the Hauraki Rail Trail.
Consider how fantastic a walking and cycling track up the Kauaeranga Valley and the Thames Coast would be, even though it is not easy.
