Hauraki Rail Trail Extension - Waihī
This is the one stop shop to get all of the updates for the Hauraki Rail Trail Extension in Waihī.
The trail is looking great thanks to Council’s in-house Works team and our contractor, N&T Higgins.
The section of walkway adjacent to SH2, between Gilmour Lake and the Ohinemuri River will be closed for a couple days while our Contractor puts the finishing touches on the board walk.
There is still work left to complete the HRT extension in Waihī, including connecting Wellington Street through to the Goldfields Railway Station, and also from the closed Clarke Street carpark through to Seddon Street.

The Council’s in-house Works Team and our contractor, N&T Higgins, have been flat out finishing another boardwalk; this time it’s in Wellington Street.
This stretch of boardwalk covers exposed tree roots which will make the trail safer for users and protect the trees from damage.
More work is planned to connect Wellington Street to Goldfields Railway Station.
