Matairangi Walking-Only Track

We’re working with Matairangi / Mount Victoria trail users to understand their experience of using different tracks and to ensure the safety of all track users.

About the project

With recent signage upgrades, ongoing improvements to track junctions, and Te Tuarā o Matairangi mountain bike track complete, we now want to understand how different people are currently experiencing shared use on Matairangi / Mount Victoria.

This is only the beginning of a long process that may, or may not, result in changing some of the existing biking and walking tracks and their intersections in the future, giving effect to existing plans and policies such as Open Space Access Plan 2016 and Wellington Town Belt Management Plan 2018.

Next steps

Following the early focus group sessions, there will be an opportunity for the wider public to provide feedback via a survey, before a paper is prepared for consideration by Councillors.

Background

As part of the council decision to approve a new intermediate mountain bike priority track (Te Tuarā o Matairangi) on Matairangi / Mount Victoria, officers were directed to reassess walking and biking trails on Matairangi and investigate changing some existing trails to walking only.
