Thursday November 17 2022 3 New walking tracks at stormwater basin PEOPLE WILL be able to enjoy 4km of new walking track when the city council’s award-winning stormwater basin in Hoon Hay opens to the public tomorrow. The stormwater basin is part of a 109ha network of basins and wetlands that the city council has been working on in the upper catchment of the Heathcote River. The facility as a whole has been named Te Kuru and includes the Eastman Wetlands. The city council is investing more than $50 million in the project and last month picked up a national award for it. City council head of three waters Helen Beaumont said this section of the project is now complete and ready for Helen Beaumont the public to use. It has 4km of walking track and large areas of wetland and native planting for people to enjoy. It will eventually link to three other stormwater storage and filtration basins that will collectively be able to store more than one million cubic metres of floodwater in big rain events, reducing the risk of flooding downstream. In total, the area will provide around 14km of walking tracks, TRAILS: Te Kuru and Eastman Wetlands have been completed and will be opened tomorrow. cycle tracks and bridges, as well as large swathes of native plantings. About 110,000 trees and 600,000 native plants are going in the ground as part of the revegetation effort. “Improving our floodplain and stormwater management was obviously the catalyst for this project but a lot of effort has gone into ensuring this area also delivers long-term ecological and recreational benefits for the city,’’ Beaumont said. “When the stormwater basins aren’t being used to store floodwater, we want people to be able to enjoy this area and for it to be habitat for birds and other wildlife, including lizards. “Friday’s opening of Te Kuru is a taste of what is in store for the rest of this area. When the other stormwater basins are completed, this entire area will become a recreational and ecological asset for the city.” The name Te Kuru ‘the blow with the fist’ was recommended to the city council by Ngāi Tūāhuriri. Mana whenua have historically used it to reference the area. PHOTO: NEWSLINE • A public opening event will be held at Te Kuru tomorrow between 10.30am and 12.30pm. The event is an opportunity for people to go along and learn more about the area and the wider project and to take a walking tour of the site. The best entry point to Te Kuru is from the new car park located at 600 Cashmere Rd.
