This ward also includes rural residents who have specific needs related to rural living.
Welcome Bay is a popular place to live as it is close to the water with wonderful views out to the city, and the Kaimai Range. There are currently improvements happening in the area, like making roads safer. We’re also upgrading parks, public spaces, and community facilities for everyone to enjoy.
Over the years, the main road to Welcome Bay has become increasingly congested so transportation to the city centre is an important issue for locals. We, along with our central government partner, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, are looking at solutions to improve this infrastructure.
