Great news! Thank you to everyone involved!

We’re proud to see the new community link path now finished and open for everyone to enjoy along State Highway 6 Whitby Road in Wakefield.

This project was delivered through our Alliance partner Downer NZ Ltd’s community fund, supporting a safe and practical connection that local residents have been advocating for for some time.

Despite some challenging weather and recent storm recovery works, the team have delivered a great result for the community.

A big thank you to Downer for funding this path, and also the Wakefield Community Council, Tasman District Council staff, and local advocates who helped bring this idea to life.

It’s projects like this that make a real difference – improving safety, accessibility, and everyday connections for people of all ages.

We’re looking forward to seeing this path become a well-used part of the Wakefield network for years to come.

Land behind Wakefield’s existing pensioner flats could become home to eight more affordable units for older residents – but only if the demand exists. Homes for Wakefield members are urging older locals who want to stay in their community to put their name on the TDC’s rental housing list.
