Te Ara Piko pathway now complete
It’s taken more than 20 years, but Te Ara Piko is finally the finished product.
The 5.25km pathway around the northern side of the spectacular Pāuatahanui Inlet was pitched to Council in 1999 by members of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton.
The first turf was turned in 2005 and an official blessing and opening was held last week on 28 June at Motukaraka Point to recognise its completion. Porirua mayor Anita Baker said the tireless fundraising by Plimmerton Rotary – it contributed $1.3m towards the project – has created a much-loved walkway that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
Along with Rotary, Mayor Baker acknowledged Ngāti Toa for its continual support, contractors Fulton Hogan, consultants Tonkin & Taylor, DoC, Forest & Bird and the input of the organisations that have the best interests of the inlet at heart – Guardians of Pāuatahanui Inlet and Porirua Harbour & Catchment Community Trust. Current president of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton, Bill McAulay, said it was a brilliant achievement for the club.
Usage of Te Ara Piko was just over 64,000 in 2020, with the number of users growing each year as parts of the pathway were completed. It runs from Taylor Stace Cottage in Pāuatahanui to Camborne Walkway carpark.
