We are seeking public feedback on a proposal to amend the Pou Herenga Tai - Twin Coast Cycle Trail Bylaw. The bylaw was recently reviewed and council is proposing to amend the bylaw for clarity and consistency. Council is not proposing to make any changes to the rules for using the Pou Herenga Tai – Twin Coast Cycle Trail.
You can read more information and the proposed amended bylaw in the Statement of Proposal(PDF, 251KB).

The purpose of this bylaw is to protect the public and users of the Trail from nuisance, promote public safety, minimise offensive behaviour and protect public infrastructure from misuse or damage.
The Bylaw regulates the whole length of the Trail from Opua to Horeke.
The same rules will apply to using the Trail. We are amending the bylaw to:
Camping has always been prohibited along the Trail. Making the bylaw under the Freedom Camping Act 2011 means that we have more enforcement options if someone does camp along the Trail. For example, we could issue an infringement.
The bylaw is already in effect. We are proposing amendments to the existing bylaw. If the amendments are adopted, then the amended bylaw will come into effect end of 2022.
