The Franklin Paths Programme will deliver 38 new and upgraded paths, crossings, and walkways over the next 10 years — fully funded by a targeted rate of $1 per week.
Phase 1 projects include:
- Safer crossings at Reynolds Rd, West St, and Pukekohe Station
- New paths at Shelly Bay Rd, Liberty Park, and Clevedon Scenic Reserve
- Coastal trails in Clarks Beach and Sandspit Reserve
The programme aims to improve safety, reduce car reliance, and support walking in growing Franklin communities.
This 10-year community-backed initiative will bring 38 new and improved paths, crossings, and walkways to the region. It’s fully funded by a targeted rate of just $1 per week per ratepayer.
“This is an investment in the future of Franklin,” says Local Board Chair Angela Fulljames. “As our once-rural community grows, so must our infrastructure — and safe, accessible paths are a big part of that.”
