Glenbrook Vintage Railway - Tamakae Reserve Extension

With over 30,000 passengers annually, the Glenbrook Vintage Railway (GVR) is a gateway for domestic tourism in the Waiuku area and Franklin region. Being a steam railway representing a bygone era, the heritage aspect compliments Waiuku's status as a town rich with its own historical past and heritage status. The GVR has always been committed to bringing the railway into the Tamakae Reserve and our commitment can be measured by our current temporary terminus opposite the Cosmopolitan Club. We now need to extend a further 800m into Tamakae Reserve. With the ongoing expansion of the GVR, by way of special events, running train trips around New Zealand – departing from Waiuku, extending the railway to the Tamakae Reserve will provide greater opportunities for GVR to host more events in the Waiuku township, connect Waiuku to the National rail network – providing passenger travel opportunity as well as other rail connectivity benefits for Franklin and ultimately provides a picturesque heritage destination for the over 30,000 passengers that travel with us annually.

Weekend Sailing Pine Harbor

Please extend to even limited weekend sailings Pine Harbour to the city.

Implement and activate the Clevedon Trails network, and extend or join it to the Hunua Trail, Papakura and Beachlands.

Continue the FLB connectivity focus and extend it to Clevedon - fund the design and consenting of the Council bits of the Clevedon Trails, esp the Showgrounds; and work on connecting them to the Hunua Trail, Beachlands and Papakura. It would be helpful to have a proper surveyed Council initiated or endorsed plan for the trails, and dedicated resource within Council to ensure consenting requirements are met.

Drinking fountains in parks - especially those that hold events such as Samuel Miller Reserve
