Hauraki Rail Trail Resident and Business Survey

Have your say on the future of the Hauraki Rail Trail.

The Hauraki Rail Trail is one of the region's most significant recreation and tourism assets. Hauraki District Council, Matamata-Piako District Council and Thames-Coromandel District Council are working together on a review of the Hauraki Rail Trail and the Trail’s future direction. TRC Tourism has been engaged to undertake this review and survey.

We are seeking feedback from residents, businesses and community members to better understand how the Trail is used, the benefits it provides, opportunities for improvement, and priorities for the future.

We invite you to take part in this short online survey that takes approximately 8 minutes to complete. The survey will be open until Sunday 26th July.

Reponses will be confidential and only used for the purposes of this Trail review.
