Ngauranga to Petone shared pathway

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

The first project in Lower Hutt to be consented under the fast track legislation is Te Ara Tupua – the Ngāūranga to Petone shared pathway. 330 jobs will be created over the life of the project which will see a walking and cycling pathway built around our harbour and enhance the entrance to our city.
Nearly a year to the day after cyclist Brent Norriss was hit and killed by a car on State Highway 2 as he travelled home from Wellington to the Hutt Valley, the long-awaited $130 million shared pathway linking Petone with Ngauranga has been fast-tracked.
