Summary
A Matarangi group has been established to address serious erosion issues at the end of the Ōmaro Spit which has caused the loss of the spit walkway as well as parts of the open space and golf course. Our aim is to coordinate a community response that will facilitate diligent restoration of Ōmaro Spit and the affected public walkway. We will be fully consulting with the whole Matarangi Community, Ngāti Hei, Ngāti Huarere, TCDC, Waikato Regional Council, Matarangi Community Groups, and DOC. We have engaged a Coastal Restoration Specialist and have finalised a fully costed project plan.
