Clevedon Scenic Reserve Path
project 14
Clevedon Village to Tourist/McNicol Road Path
This project is currently in the early investigation phase, exploring a potential trail connection between the Clevedon Scenic Reserve and the developer-delivered trail in Clevedon North. The proposed connection would create a northern village loop suitable for walkers, runners, cyclists, and dog walkers. Engagement and consultation are underway with local iwi, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, to help guide the project’s development and ensure cultural values are respected throughout the planning process.
Planning is underway for a 2.8 km shared path along McNicol Road to improve local connectivity. Initial scoping is expected to begin in the last quarter of 2025. Early engagement with Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and local community representatives is planned to ensure the project reflects the needs of the Clevedon community. This early planning will help us understand what’s needed and guide how the project moves forward.
Clevedon, a walkable Village.
Clevedon is in the middle of significant growth, with the population set to expand from approx 700 to 4,000 residents. Currently, footpaths and trails are sparse and disconnected, but as land is subdivided and developed around the periphery of this rural settlement, 17km network of walking, cycling and bridle trails will be constructed.
These trails will support non-vehicular movement around our village, enabling our residents to walk and cycle between home, the village centre, school, community facilities and for recreation.
Most of the proposed network of trails will be delivered by developers. There are however a number of important trail connections that weren’t able to be delivered by developers and for which no other funding was available.
The Franklin Paths and Trails Targeted Rate will capture two such trails: A connection between Clevedon Scenic Reserve and the Clevedon North Tataia Stream trail and the McNicol Road Trail (Clevedon-Kawakawa Road to Tourist Rd - where it will connect to a trail being built by Stevensons along the southern section of McNicol Road).

Clevedon Scenic Reserve Connection
Clevedon Scenic Reserve to Clevedon North Trail Connecter.
Suitable for walkers, runners, cyclists and dog walkers this trail connection will link the developer-delivered trail in Clevedon North to the trails of Clevedon Scenic Reserve, enabling a northern village loop.
McNicol Road to
Clevedon Village
This 2.8km trail will run along the edge of McNicol Road from the village to Tourist Road.
Here it will link into a trail south of the intersection that Stevensons are required to build as part of their 2018 resource consent to expand the quarry. Users will eventually be able to walk or cycle all the way to the old Te Araroa Trail that connects to Cossey Dam Access Road in Hūnua.
