As part of Auckland Heritage Week, STEPS and Urban Ark have arranged a walk from Ōwairaka/ Mt Albert to Te Tokaroa / Meola Reef. During the walk we will discover the historic infrastructure that underlay the development of Auckland and influenced the fate of Meola Creek.
The walk takes place on two days, Saturday 28th September and Saturday 5th October from 1.00pm until 3.30pm. Rain day for both walks is Saturday 12th October. Along the way experts will speak briefly about the Central Interceptor, daylighting and restoration. Locations are well served by public transport. STEPS can also shuttle car drivers back to the start as needed.
Please join us. Numbers are limited so book your place soon.

After the Meola creek
press release from the Auckland City Council in May 2008, STEPS worked together with Auckland City to develop a number of project briefs to address different aspects of Meola Creek problems. Now we are looking for Partners and Sponsors to work with to complete these projects. Attached is a summary of all the projects. If you are interested in working with us – please
contact us via this web site.
Meola Creek Projects (PDF)
One successful example of collaboration between STEPS and other organisations is shown here – “before” and “after”. The Roy Clements Treeway on Mt Albert Grammar school grounds has been planted by the community – and a boardwalk constructed by Metrowater during 2008. The new boardwalk is very popular – and a great community asset. Our thanks to MAGS and Metrowater for taking this step.
One immediate project which would improve the amenity of the upper creek and enhance ecological values – would be to “daylight” the creek – for examples where it has been done elsewhere see
