Tauranga City Council invites Registrations of Interest for the Papamoa Coastal Reserve Shared Pathway Stage 1- physical works for which the works comprise:

Construction of a shared walking and cycling path, utilising a 3.5m minimum width for the entire length of the path. The project will be split into two stages:

• Stage 1 approximately 3km in length, connecting Papamoa Domain to the Parton Road roundabout
• Stage 2 approximately 0.8km in length, connecting the Parton Road roundabout to Taylor Reserve as shown in the draft Concept Plans

The Project broadly includes the construction of:

• A 3.5m wide gravel path. There may be an opportunity to upgrade the path material to either concrete or asphalt subject to funding.
• The rest areas are denoted by timber decking along the alignment.
• Activity hub areas in the existing reserve spaces denoted by a 3.5m wide concrete path, with ancillary structures such as new seating and rubbish bins. There is the potential for new ancillary buildings/structures including toilet block(s) and showers, drinking fountains, barbecues and play items (results from community feedback and funding to inform final ancillary elements and quantities to be included).
• May include dune planting enhancement and maintenance for a 12-month period.
• Tree planting for shade provision and amenity along the route.
