The 2 km section between the end of O'Dea Road and Walsh Road is now open. The new route is part of the City to Mountain route between Hamilton’s western Dinsdale suburb and Pirongia mountain.
A Te Araroa team led by Noel Sandford has just completed a bridge across the Koromatua Stream. Signage is still not in place, but the O’Dea section is open, and completes an attractive 10 km peri-urban walk from Melva Street to the Tills Lookout, past the Taitua Arboretum, and onward from there across the new track, and backroads to Whatawhata. Te Araroa walkers headed south will go on from there, another 30 km to the Pirongia summit
