About the project

Our draft concept plan for Tahawai Reserve includes the adjoining 16 Tanners Point Road and Poho Pā.

Developed in partnership with Ngāti te Wai along with Tanners Point residents and stakeholders, and the Katikati Community Board, our vision is to transform this space into an inviting communal area that respects its cultural and historical roots, while meeting the future needs of our diverse community.

Some of the design features proposed in the development of Tahawai Reserve include:

  • Community facilities including a potential future community building,
  • A new multipurpose hardcourt,
  • Viewing platform to Hikurangi Mountain and Mauao,
  • Community and traditional rongoā (medicinal) gardens,
  • The enhancement to the existing open space with a new loop track,
  • Installation of cultural elements and informative signage.

Longer term developments for this reserve that are also being considered include:

  • Future cycleway and walkway connections along State Highway 2 and from Tahawai Reserve to Tanners Point boat ramp,
  • Freedom camping at Tahawai Reserve through the future Freedom Camping Bylaw review process,
  • Exploration of opportunities to access the Tuapiro Stream to the south/south-east of the Pā site.

You can obtain further information on the draft concept plan in our Statement of Proposal.
