We're rolling out the paths and trails you've been asking for

Getting around Franklin is becoming easier and safer.

Thanks to strong support from our communities and the Franklin Local Board, we’re delivering a connected network of paths and trails shaped by local community priorities

The Franklin Paths Programme is a community-driven initiative that will enhance connectivity, reduce the need for vehicle use, and promote a healthier lifestyle.


The programme has now entered its operational phase, following the formal agreement between Franklin Local Board, Auckland Council, and Auckland Transport

This partnership marks the beginning of a 10-year initiative to develop 38 new and improved paths and crossings across the Franklin area.

Fully funded by a targeted rate over 10 years, the cost to rate payers is $1 per week or $52 per year.

Franklin Local Board Chair Angela Fulljames emphasised that the programme is a community investment into an area that is much needed for Franklin.

What’s Next?

With the formal endorsement of Phase 1 of the programme by the Local Board at their business meeting on April 22, a range of projects will begin across the Pukekohe, Wairoa, and Waiuku subdivisions.

This is a 10-year programme. Some projects are underway and others will roll out in stages.
