Hello,

Whangarei District Council and the local hapu Te Whanau ā Rangiwhakaahu welcome you to a local community meeting to meet and discuss a number of proposed improvements in the area.

Date: Saturday 15th February
Time: 1 – 2pm
Venue: Matapouri Hall (Matapouri Rd, Matapouri)

Proposed improvements include:
- A new toilet block
- Carpark and road improvements
- Improved signage

The focus of the meeting will be to listen to your views regarding the new toilet block.
 
Additional local community meetings will be held later in the year to provide on-going updates and to receive your views regarding the other proposed improvements.

Question Title

* 1. Would you be supportive of new toilet block being provided at Matapouri Bay?

Question Title

* 2. A preliminary review of potential locations has showed the most viable location to be within the grassed area between Wehiwehi Road carpark and Morrison Road capark (Location 4)

Other options considered included
Location 1 - Demolish existing toilet and build a new toilet in it's place
  • Existing toilet is functional asset with no issues. It would be a waste to demolish a functional asset
  • More capacity would be achieved by building a new toilet block and leaving the existing one there
Location 2 - New toilet block at the Estuary area
  • The greatest need is for more toilet facilities at Matapouri Bay and it would not be practical to expect beach goers to travel to the estuary to use the toilet
Location 3 - New toilet block on grassed area on the Northern side of Morrison Road carpark
  • The area is not large enough to locate a toilet block there


Would Location 4 between Wehiwehi Road carpark and Morrison Road carpark be a suitable location for a new toilet block?

Question Title

* 3. Which of these toilet locations would attract the most visitor use?

Question Title

* 4. Would you be supportive of carpark upgrades (such as surface improvements and turning circles at the end of roads) being provided at Matapouri Bay?

Question Title

* 5. Would you be supportive of any of the below improvements?

Question Title

* 6. Would you be interested in attend another local community meeting to receive progress updates and contribute to further decisions regarding these improvements? (Check as many boxes as you want below)

Question Title

* 7. Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. We hope to see you at the local community meeting on 15 Feb 2020, 1-2pm at Matapouri Hall
