Local Matters - Footpath comes at a price

Footpath comes at a price
The path will run from Broadlands Drive to the golf club and community centre.
Omaha is set to get a long-awaited 850-metre footpath along Omaha Drive next to the golf course, but the cost has blown out once again to nearly $870,000.
The June meeting of Rodney Local Board heard that the $645,000 allocated from its transport targeted rate to the path in November would not be enough, as the lowest tender received by Auckland Transport (AT) in May was $775,626. With additional professional services needed, the total budget required was now up to $868,200.
Several members voiced concern at the increase, and questioned whether the project should be deferred.
