The wonderful Gatehouse – Matamata Visitor Information Centre - provided the backdrop for a special event last week.
Tourism Minister Peeni Henare announced $3.7m in Government and council funding to repair and upgrade the cycle network after damage suffered in recent storms.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment will contribute just over $2m towards the project, while this is matched by joint funding from Thames-Coromandel, Hauraki, and Matamata-Piako District Councils, which will contribute to the three-year repair project.
The trail suffered severe damage to its surface and stability in this year’s summer storms, with the funding ensuring its recovery and resilience.
“I am grateful for the support we have from our three district councils, and central government in working with us to resolve the funding hole we were facing after the storms,” said Diane Drummond, CEO of the Hauraki Rail Trail.
“This community asset is of such great importance to our local community, providing both strong economic and health benefits.
To see it on its knees in February, was very sad. With our borders now open again, we need to dust off the dirt and get on with the mahi now.
“The works programme would take another 18 months to complete, such was the scale of the damage.”
Minor works are already underway throughout the network, with the project due for completion in 2025.
Following last week’s announcement in Matamata, those attending - including central and local government, and iwi representatives – enjoyed morning tea in the isite.
