Dual Te Reo Māori/English names proposed for Belmont Regional Park
Māori place names, more walking trails and significant additions to mountain biking facilities and improved access for Porirua residents, are among many proposals designed to boost recreation in the Belmont Regional Park.
The Greater Wellington Regional Council is currently consulting on its long term plans for the park.
The proposals include better access for Porirua residents and realigning existing trails to connect with Transmission Gully motorway underpasses for access to eastern parts of the park.
The council also wants to significantly improve existing mountain bike trails.
It is also looking at enhancing the park’s cultural heritage – by re-naming or identifying dual Te Reo Māori /English names of key locations in the park.
How would you like to see the park developed over the next 20 years?

Fireworks
People keep fireworks because they are only legally available for purchase during a 4-day period each year, leading to stockpiling.
