Walking Strategy

The Hastings Walking Strategy has been developed to be integrated with the Cycling Strategy, both of which provide the common objectives of encouraging and promoting healthy and alternative travel, and which are in turn supported by Council’s wider Play Strategy.

Like the Cycling Strategy, the Walking Strategy focuses on the local populated area of the Heretaunga Plains. It is recognised that the district as a whole provides a wider availability of other regional facilities, including those managed by the Regional Council and the Department of Conservation.

In this sense, the Strategy supports wider walking opportunities and provides a framework for encouraging walking throughout the whole district.
