Getting around Franklin is becoming easier and safer.

Thanks to strong support from our communities and the Franklin Local Board, we're delivering a connected network of paths and trails shaped by local community priorities

The Franklin Paths Programme is a community-driven initiative that will enhance connectivity, reduce the need for vehicle use, and promote a healthier lifestyle.

The programme has now entered its operational phase, following the formal agreement between Franklin Local Board, Auckland Council, and Auckland Transport.

This partnership marks the beginning of a 10-year initiative to develop 38 new and improved paths and crossings across the Franklin area.

Fully funded by a targeted rate
over 10 years, the cost to rate payers is $1 per week or $52 per year.

Franklin Local Board Chair Angela Fulljames emphasised that the programme is a community investment into an area that is much needed for Franklin.

What’s Next?

With the formal endorsement of Phase 1 of the programme by the Local Board at their business meeting on April 22, a range of projects will begin across the Pukekohe, Wairoa, and Waiuku subdivisions.

This is a 10-year programme. Some projects are underway and others will roll out in stages.
