Update July 2024
What are we doing?
We are building a shared pathway between the Upper Moutere shops and Community Hall alongside the Moutere Highway. This project has been on hold and we are now ready to restart the works to develop a new travel choice for the community.
Why are we doing it?
The path will be a 1300-metre long gravel/concrete shared pathway for pedestrians and cyclists on the western side of the Moutere Highway between the Upper Moutere Dairy and the Community Hall. This will provide safe passage for school children as well as a great way for visitors looking to explore the Upper Moutere area on bike or foot. It also works to encourage usage and exploration of other shared path and walking track options in the Tasman area.
Support from the local community
This has been a project brought about from workshops and discussions from the Moutere Hills Residents Association Incorporated mhra.org.nz. Thanks also goes to the local residents, Upper Moutere School and Moutere Hills Community Centre for their support of the project.
