A pedestrian was seriously injured after being struck by a car in the Karangahake Gorge on Sunday afternoon.
State Highway 2 is closed through the Karangahake Gorge, between Paeroa and Waihi, after a pedestrian was struck by a car. Police were notified of the collision at 12.28pm on Sunday. The pedestrian is reported to be seriously injured. Motorists are asked to avoid the area, as delays are expected. Waka Kotahi-NZ Transport Agency Waikato system manager Cara Lauder said detours were “significant” and encouraged people to delay their travel, where possible. “The southbound detour takes motorists south on SH2 from Waihi to Tauranga, then onto SH29 over the Kaimai Range, SH24 to Matamata, SH27 to Tatuanui and SH26 to Paeroa. Motorists travelling from Paeroa take the same route, in the opposite direction.
A native corridor is being planted instead. In the next three years, 18 kilometres of riparian margin will be retired and planted out (128,000 native plants). The regional council is working with seven landowners to deliver year one of this project.

Children plant native trees to help create a native corridor along the Kaimai Range and in the Hauraki Plains. Te Poi School principal Linda Larsen said the enviroschool has been planting wetlands on the farm since 2013. “A lot of the kids come from farming families, and they will be the farmers here in the future,” Larson said. “Supporting any one programme builds movement in the rest of the community, and benefits everyone. The planting we’re doing is normalising that for them.”

It takes a community to improve a catchment, as evidenced
at a planting day for a Waikato Regional Council shovel
ready project.
Te Poi School students, teachers and
families planted 500 plants in a wetland on a neighbouring
farm as part of the Upper Waiomou Stream restoration project
which has $1.74m in funding from the Jobs for Nature
programme and $74,500 from Fonterra’s environmental
partnerships programme.
The Upper Waiomou Stream
restoration project is one of 17 shovel ready projects which
Waikato Regional Council got government funding for in the
wake of COVID-19 to stimulate the construction and
environmental industries and economy, be of public or
