Remember to keep cars off the beach
Kia ora, Porirua Neighbourly. The councl had put up signs reminding people cars are no longer allowed on Titahi Bay beach under the recently updated Porirua City Council Transport Bylaw.
There will be regular patrols by parking wardens and security contractors to enforce the bylaw. You can still drive on to the beach to launch a boat, and you can park your vehicle and trailer above the high tide line following launch.
If you own a boatshed, you can drive on to the beach to load or unload your things, but your car must then be parked on the road.
Tell us what you think of the new by-laws?
