Wellington has a unique network, embedded within the city structure and Wellington Town Belt, running out through the suburbs to the Outer Green Belt and beyond into the rural environment.
The track network offers benefits for the entire community and caters for a wide range of interests and abilities.
The Council wants to strengthen and improve the open space access network through a plan that will:
- provide outstanding opportunities for recreation and tourism within the open spaces of Wellington
- ensure that tracks provide for a wide range of user interests, skills, abilities and fitness levels within each area
- achieve a quality primary network accessing major destination points in Wellington and adjoining districts, and linking with an equitable distribution of secondary and local track networks and recreational facilities
- provide a network of tracks that enables more residents to enjoy using the city’s open space safely, while enhancing the natural environment.
