Consultation has concluded

Update (April 2025):

In May 2024, you shared your insights on walking and cycling improvements in your local area.

We have collated these insights into a programme of walking + cycling improvements (which we call a Local Active Modes Plan). The Waitematā Local Board approved the plan in September 2024. The process and the outputs are documented in the final report here.

Next steps:

We will deliver improvements outlined in the plan as and when funding becomes available. Any projects initiated from this plan will go through community and stakeholder engagement / consultation in line with normal Auckland Transport processes. 

Comments and suggestions that we are unable to action within this programme will be passed on to the relevant teams to address as and when they have the capacity to do so.

We would like to thank the local community for taking the time to provide such valuable insights.




Auckland Transport is working with the Waitematā Local Board to improve walking and cycling options in your area.


The Local Active Modes Plan aims to identify opportunities to improve how you experience your neighbourhood.

Your knowledge will help develop a programme in the inner-west suburbs to make them safer and more user-friendly for walking and cycling.


Tell us about

  • Which roads and streets/paths/shortcuts you like to take.
  • Which roads and streets you tend to avoid, and why.
  • Locations where you would like to see safety and accessibility improvements.

We are seeking insights within the red boundary. 
  • Herne Bay
  • Saint Mary’s Bay
  • Three Lamps
  • Westmere
