This project is now complete!

A pedestrian refuge has been installed on Beach Road, near Waihī Beach School, to give tamariki and their whānau a safer way to cross the road.

Funded by the Waihī Beach Community Board, the refuge provides a protected place to stop in the centre of the road and wait for cars to pass. It also makes the road appear narrower at this point, helping to reduce the speed of traffic.

As part of the mahi, a footpath was also built along Beach Road, from Brown's Drive to the start of the walkway that links to Ralph Lane and Brown's Drive.
