Project Overview:
The Taupō Great Lake Pathway upgrade was initiated by Taupō District Council in 2020. This significant infrastructure improved aimed to enhance the popular lakeside walkway, transforming it into a more accessible and versatile shared pathway for pedestrians and cyclists.
Project Scope:
The project involved the removal and replacement of approximately 7 kilometres of existing footpath along the scenic Great Lake Walkway. The path was widened from its original 1.5 metres to a spacious 3 metres, creating a shared bike and footpath. This extensive renovation required careful planning and execution to minimise disruption to the community.
Community Benefits:
The wider, smoother surface accommodates Taupō residents and visitors alike, with improved accessibility for all and enhanced safety for pedestrians and cyclists in the area.
