Ōmokoroa to Tauranga Cycleway

This 19km route, made up of both new and existing off-road shared paths and local road connections, provides a link between the growing township of Ōmokoroa and Tauranga City's existing urban cycleway network. It has become a very popular recreation route for locals and visitors. This high profile regional project was undertaken with significant community support, including contributions from the Tauranga Round Table and other potential external investors, as well as assistance from project partners PowerCo and KiwiRail. The route provides an alternative way to access the urban communities in the area, schools, parks and reserves, Tauranga Harbour area and the higher density rural development areas planned for under the sub-region's SmartGrowth partnership. It also provides an alternative transport choice to the busy State Highway 2 corridor that connects the area to Tauranga City.
