The Hauraki Cycle Trail & Waihi Beach

                                          

It is great to see that the Hauraki Cycle Trail is finally underway as it will benefit the surrounding community in may ways.

• It will create jobs in the construction of the cycle way
• It will create  opportunities for local businesses
• It will show case the area to the many visitors
• It will bring additional $ into the surrounding areas from tourists using the cycle trail
• It will add to the shoulder seasons for tourist operators

Part of it will be completed by the start of the RWC 2011 when we will have many new visitors to our piece of paradise here in the Southern Coromandel.
I hope the folk in the Waihi Beach to Omokoroa area take note and see what is happening and what opportunities that will be evident. It is my understanding the Bay of Plenty Cycle Trail is only going to be viable initially from Omokora to Tauranga and further north the various land owners where the cycle trail was proposed have supported the cycle trail in principle but " just not on my land". Hopefully  the wise will intervene and  change the cycle route as it will benefit many - just look what's happened in Central Otago
