Council Consent given for Pump Track at Woodall Park, Devonport
A very successful Pump Track Information Day was held on Sunday 20th July at Woodall Park.
Despite the unsettled weather we had at least 100 people who stopped by to talk about the project and all were very positive and supportive. Devonport Rotary would like to thank all of those people and the 30 or so who left their contact details and expressed interest in attending site working bees or donating cash and materials. Thanks to Tim White and some of the other local BMX guru's who dropped by to answer questions and explain aspects of the project.
It was great to see so many family groups using the existing informal track amongst the trees that demonstrated the level of demand for the proposed track.
Rotary plans to set up a GiveaLittle page to assist with fundraising. Watch this space and The Flagstaff for further information regarding when work will start on site. We are looking to begin at the end of September when the weather is suitable and the resource consent has been granted.

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
