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.

STEPS hosted a walk through the new plantings with Mayor Len Brown on Saturday 11th June.
The Mayor displayed a keen interest in both the fundamental sewerage and stormwater issues underlying many of the problems of the upper Meola Creek; and in the recent plantings and boardwalk which fit closely with the vision for “green fingers” extending inland from Watemata and Manukau Harbours.
STEPS’ vision for a walkway from our maunga at Owairaka to Te Tokaroa/ Meola Reef on the Waitemata Harbour fits well with this vision and the Local Board Chair and members who accompanied the Mayor extended an invitation to STEPS to review our portfolio of planned projects with them.
The Mayor has met with Watercare Services regarding dates for the new Central Interceptor project, and he is now planning to meet with the local business community regarding support for Meola Creek on 9 August 2011.
We thank the Mayor for his time and support for this important Auckland stream and ecological area.
