The Walk2Work Toolkit is a resource to help businesses encourage their employees to walk to work, thus reducing absenteeism, improving employee health, and increasing productivity.
Walking is the most accessible and easy form of exercise. It doesn’t cost anything, no special equipment or training is needed, and people of all levels of fitness can walk.
A highly motivated and determined community worked alongside two councils to create a safe, 4.5km walking and cycling link between Horsham Downs Village and Hamilton.
This walking and cycling route links Horsham Downs and Resolution Drive initially by a 1.4km footpath alongside the road and then by an off road walking and cycling route through a future roading reserve which HCC has granted a License to Occupy.
The Warren Cole Walk and Cycleway is a new 2.1 km long, all weather
accessway along the Whakatane River stop bank. It runs from the
Whakatane River Bridge to the Whakatane Gardens and Amphitheatre. It is a
part of the Council’s overall Whakatane River Greenways Project which
stretches for 5km from the Whakatane River mouth to the SH2 Whakatane
River Bridge. |

Living Streets Aotearoa is the New Zealand organisation for people on foot, promoting walking-friendly communities. We are a nationwide organisation with local branches and affiliates throughout New Zealand.
We want more people walking and enjoying public spaces be they young or old, fast or slow, whether walking, sitting, commuting, shopping, between appointments, or out on the streets for exercise, for leisure or for pleasure.
