Public information day to promote motorised recreation safety on Muriwai Beach

7 January 2009

Come to Muriwai Beach (between the Coast Road beach access point and the Okiriototo stream) this Sunday 11 January between 12 and 6pm to find out more about what you can do to promote safety and minimise your environmental impact on Muriwai Beach and Te Oneone Rangatira Beach.

Representatives from the Auckland Regional Council, Rodney District Council, NZ Police, the Department of Conservation, Ngati Whatua Nga Rima o Kaipara, the Otakanini Topu Trust, First response, Civil Defence, the Fire Service and ACC will be on hand to:

• Offer advice on safe driving and riding.
• Show you the places you can enter and exit the beach and where you can and can’t drive or ride.
• Give a run down of the road rules that apply once on the beach and information on the new beach speed limits which came into effect late last year.
• Help you discover the rich biodiversity to be found on this special beach; the sand dunes and the unique wildlife that they are home to.
• Show how you can help make the beach safer, answer any questions and listen to your thoughts or concerns.

Together the above agencies have been working to promote the safe and appropriate use of the region’s beaches. This information day is part of their campaign.
