Keep Te Aroha Beautiful
Reserve on Spur Street, Te Aroha (Yellow A - portion opposite netball club and BMX track)
We’re looking at turning part of the reserve on Spur Street into a fenced off-leash area. What do you think?

On behalf of Keep Te Aroha Beautiful (KTAB): Concerning the off-leash laneway through Skidmore Reserve. We understood the existing laneway was temporary, allowing Mr Wayne Telfar to take his cows (see attached letter) to graze council land now developed for the caravan park and proposed dog off leash area. KTAB alway intended to extend the Covid-19 memorial planting to include this area and the railway embankment, which would allow for feature planting like kowhais etc. Our preferred option is to use existing on- leash pathway (Howarth Memorial wetland) or railway embankment. If the objective is to link the proposed Spur street reserve with the Esplanade off leash area than we like MPDC and dog owners to consider an alternative off-leash area by including the strip between above mentioned existing on-leash pathways. This will have a different character (shrubs, long grass, trees etc). We are happy to take part in any consideration and discussion with dog owners. See also letter and map with proposed additional off-leash area sent per email
Spur Street Esplanade, Te Aroha (Yellow B - portion near the Waihou River under the footbridge)
We’re looking at expanding the current Spur Street Esplanade into an off-leash area which will be managed by a community group but available for everyone to use. What do you think?

Te Aroha boat ramp
We’re looking at removing the boat ramp reserve, changing it from an off-leash to an on-lead area, as it’s prone to flooding and has the Hauraki Rail Trail running through it. What do you think?
I agree, make it an on-lead area
