The outcome of Council’s investigation to facilitate access for potential urban development of land in the Ohauiti area.

We live in a wonderful part of New Zealand and in Welcome Bay there are many great parks and reserves enjoyed by the community.

The main walking track within the reserve is closed until late 2025 for wastewater renewals.

The park is fully closed until late 2025 for tree harvesting and track renewals.
