Council manages 198km of footpaths across the district and
carries out regular maintenance and upgrades to keep them safe and accessible.
Accessibility & Damaged Footpaths
We aim to improve access for everyone, especially in
high-use areas. If you notice a damaged or uneven footpath, or one that’s
difficult to use with a wheelchair or mobility scooter, please let us know on
03 440 0056, or email the roading team at
roading@codc.govt.nz
Overhanging Vegetation
Trees and flowers are great, but footpaths are for people. Help
keep footpaths clear by trimming back plants and trees and keeping a minimum
clearance of 2.4m overhead. Council checks footpaths each year and may ask
property owners to remove overgrowth. In some cases, formal notices may be
issued and costs recovered.
