Tauranga City Council will soon begin work to improve the experience for users of the Marine Parade coastal pathway by sandblasting directional arrows onto the surface using garnet — a natural, environmentally friendly mineral abrasive.
Works are scheduled to take place the week of Monday, 9 June and are expected to take three days, weather dependent. Hours of work will be from 8.30am to 4.30pm each day. During this time, small sections of the pathway will have temporary pedestrian detours in place to ensure safety.
Since its opening in 2023, the Marine Parade coastal pathway has become a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, with hundreds of people enjoying it each day. With increased use, Council has received feedback highlighting challenges around path sharing, particularly during peak times.
The addition of directional arrows along the pathway between Pacific Avenue and Oceanbeach Road will serve as a friendly reminder to keep left, ensuring a smoother journey for all.

Hawke's Bay Regional Council Lowering Beach Crest Of Wairoa River Bar
Press Release – Hawkes Bay Regional Council By lowering the beach crest, water will be able to exit the river more effectively during high flows or flood events reducing the risk of flooding and the need for reactive openings of the bar. The Hawke's Bay Regional Council has work underway to improve flood resilience at the Wairoa River Bar, with a section of the beach crest now being carefully lowered between Rangi-houa (Pilot Hill) and the old pier. This initiative is part of the Intermediate Management Plan for the Wairoa Bar, a collaborative effort between the Regional Council, Wairoa District Council, and Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa. By lowering the beach crest, water will be able to exit the river more effectively during high flows or flood events — reducing the risk of flooding and the need for reactive openings of the bar. Local company Prydes Contracting began the work last Monday and is on track to complete the project early next week. The modified section will be monitored and maintained as part of the ongoing management plan. Hawke's Bay Regional Council Chair Hinewai Ormsby says the Council is pleased to be taking this proactive step. 'Developing a collaborative river bar management plan is an important way we can show the people of Wairoa that we're listening, we care, and we are acting. Protecting the community and reducing the risk of future flooding is not just a priority—it's a responsibility we take very seriously.' The Regional Council will continue to keep the river mouth open and where possible, in its optimal location. The Council's priority is to relocate the mouth – when there is the opportunity– from a poor to an ideal location.
