Matakana Coast Trail rebranded to The Coastal Trail

We are excited to unveil our new identity as The Coastal Trail. This rebrand marks a revitalised chapter for our community project. This new identity captures the spirit of what makes this project so special: the seamless blend of community, native bush, and stunning coastline.


When completed, The Coastal Trail will offer locals and visitors a sustainable and safe way to explore the region's breathtaking landscapes, all while connecting our coastal communities from Pūhoi to Mangawhai via the Matakana Coast.

Be sure to visit our new website at www.thecoastaltrail.co.nz, and keep an eye out for our upcoming billboards and informative marketing initiatives!



Progress On The Ground: Construction Beginning Next Week!

We are thrilled to announce that construction is starting next week on a critical 2.2km section of the trail, linking Point Wells to the Matakana Country Park via Omaha Flats and Point Wells Road. This development marks a major milestone, improving safety and accessibility for walkers and cyclists.


Our goal is to complete this section by the end of summer, transforming a once hazardous route into a welcoming path for all to enjoy. This progress wouldn't be possible without tremendous community assistance that has resulted in us raising over $1 million worth of community support for this project!


We are especially grateful to Hutchinson Consulting Engineers for their generous pro bono services and Mason Contractors for their construction support. Their contributions, along with the efforts of many local businesses, have been instrumental in advancing this project. Thank you for believing in the vision of The Coastal Trail!
