Our Petition to one-lane the road around Miramar Bays
Our Petition to one-lane the road around Miramar Bays
For some years now the Wellington City Council has been talking about make the road around the Miramar Bays between Shelly Bay and Scorching Bay one lane for vehicles. Previous Cyclovia events where this was closed to vehicles and opened for walkers & cyclists has shown how enormously popular this was. We now want to push the Council to finally implement the one-lane road so that the seaside lane can be used for a safe walking & cycling route as part of the Great Harbour Way. This is our proposal to the Council.

Waka Kotahi / NZTA project update.
Te Ara Tupua officially opened to the public on Saturday, 16 May 2026. The 4.5 km shared path links Ngāuranga and Petone in the Wellington region, creating a continuous coastal route for walkers, runners, and cyclists.
Note: the cutting of the ribbons by officials and key representatives of the Te Ara Tupua project alliance and stakeholder groups took place the day before. The public event on the Saturday attracted thousands of people and has continued this enormous popularity; not just in the weekends but also during the week days.

Tupua Horo Nuku opened
April 2026
A beautiful Tāi te Kawa ceremony (dawn blessing) officially opened Tupua Horo Nuku at a very wet Whiorau Reserve on Saturday 18 April. Sadly, the bad weather meant that the next day's Tupua Horo Nuku community event was cancelled. It took place alongside the public opening of Te Ara Tupua instead.
