Tēnā koutou, tālofa lava, mālō e lelei, kia orana, fakaalofa lahi atu, bula vinaka, nǐ hǎo, namaste, kumusta, néih hóu, and warm greetings.
We’re working to make it safer and even easier to walk, ride your bike, and scoot around Rewa.
Let us know what gets in the way and what can be better, for a healthier and more sustainable future by the end of June 2025.
About the project
The Manurewa Active Modes Project aims to identify challenges, as well as local solutions to encourage more walking and cycling in the community.
Getting around on foot or bike is one of the easiest ways to improve your health and wellbeing, and it can save you money too!
There are several public transport stations, a significant number of schools and a high proportion of tamariki and kaumātua in Manurewa, providing opportunities for local journeys by walking and cycling.

Improved walking and cycling in Manurewa means
- We feel safer and more connected with our community when we walk, cycle, and scoot.
- We choose to walk, cycle, and scoot more often because it is more enjoyable.
- We find it easier to move around our neighbourhood on foot and by bike.

Help shape better ways to walk and ride in Rewa! 🚶🚲🛴
Great South Road, heading south from #291 (the NPD) to #324. This section of shared path has many car yards and petrol stations. Riding down here at speed is risky because of all the vehicles coming in and out drive ways and petrol stations often fail to give way, or don't understand that they need to give way to vehicles using the cycle path. They crossing points should be clearly marked to show who has right of way.
Outside the Browns Road Superette, near the corner of Dalgetty Drive: there is a rubbish bin in the middle of the bike path. Going around the bin puts riders at risk of hitting people as they walk out of the superette. There are also often cars parked nextdoor outside #116 blocking the cycle lane.
The cycle lanes on Browns Road, outside Homai Primary and Manurewa High are blocked with parked cars before and after school. Staff and students are stuck walking their vehicles because there's no room on the road and no room on the footpath.
