From Local Matters: [The walkway] will veer off the Leigh Road just after the bridge at the eastern end of Matakana and connect to Tongue Farm Road. However, it will now head towards Jones Road through land owned by the Whitmore family, and through Council-owned land near the wastewater treatment plant, connecting with the new cycleway over the Causeway to Omaha. The estimated length will be about six kilometres. [Read more...] 

From A Fine Line Gallery: A great opportunity to come and celebrate the winter solstice, purchase a piece of Matakana Art, and contribute to the Matakana Walkway.

Everyone is welcome for the evening but if you want to purchase a piece of art then you have to have a $40 ticket. Each ticket is numbered and during the evening each work of art in the gallery will be randomly numbered – the work with your ticket number is yours to take away at the end of the evening. Local artists have generously contributed or created work for the event and there are some outstanding pieces in the show. 

Tickets are limited to the number of art works (we will have at least 100 works in the exhibition) and have been selling well.  If you want to purchase a ticket they are available at: Charlies Gelato (Friday-Sunday), Matakana Bike Hire, Matakana School, and Matakana Gull Motors – or phone Heather and Charlie on 09 4227980 or Mike De Haan on 09 4227854. A limited number of tickets will be available on the night.

If you just want to come along for the event then that is great too – art raffles, entertainment, wine and nibbles provided as well as being part of a great community art event.

Artists .... If you have small works you would like to contribute or if you have finished creating a work for the show, if you could please drop off at Piece Gallery in the village or Charlies Gelato – or come down driveway past Charlies Gelato and drop any work off at our house.

All proceeds from the evening go towards the Matakana Walkway.

Hope to see you on the 23rd June 5.00-8.00pm,
