Rotary Club of Howrah

District 9830

The Rotary Club of Howrah has accepted the Clarence City Council’s offer to coordinate the re-construction of the Tranmere Foreshore walkway.

Howrah Rotary Club worked with local residents to complete the first stage. Council has now completing the project.

The initial path existed along the foreshore however but it was narrow and while it is formed with a gravel surface, it was very irregular.

Some sections were unformed so it was a challenge for younger cyclists and families with a pram

Plants growing alongside the track needed to be cleared. Weeds such as coprosm, boxthorn, gorse and cape wattle were removed and replaced with native grasses, sedges and groundcovers.

She oakes and white gums were retained where possible and some new white gums will be planted. 

Residents will be consulted about such decisions. Lower branches will be removed to ensure the views are not interrupted.
