Pump Tract Information Day Woodall Park, Devonport.
Information Day
Woodall Park BMX Pump Track
20 June at 11am
Woodall Park near the Squash Club
WHAT WILL THE TRACK BE LIKE?
It will be a 400 metres long unpaved BMX track through the trees at the western end of Woodall park, Narrow Neck. The design allows for it to be built in stages.
It’ll be suitable for all ages and abilities of riders: from young learners to older ‘full-on’ awesome riders.
WHERE IS THE PROJECT AT?
The pump track through the trees was started by local kids through the trees. Devonport Rotary approached the Council and Local Board who have enthusiastically endorsed the project and are assisting with resource consent. A lease change of the Waitemata Golf Club has made available the land under the trees to become part of Woodall Park
Local cycling enthusiast Tim White has offered lots of practical advice on track layouts and other technical matters.
WHEN WILL IT START AND HOW YOU CAN HELP?
Rotary is confident that the resource consent will be granted soon and now want to start the planning for getting construction underway in the spring. Rotary has some funds available but needs the help of local volunteers and sponsors who can help with
• fundraising e.g setting up a Givealittle page
• working bees
• sponsorship.
• donations of materials.
• Applying for grants from charitable trusts
a GiveaLittle page
Come along to the information day to share your ideas on how we can make this community asset a real taonga for our children (of all ages).

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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.
