Fairy Pools Reserve to close temporarily

21 November 2024

Fairy Pools Reserve in Kerikeri will be closed to the public from today (Thursday 21 November) until mid-March 2025, to preserve public safety while work begins on a private property which borders the reserve.

The owner of the private property on Kerikeri Road has consent to subdivide their property. Tree removal is permitted in the consent and the developer has signalled an intent to remove vegetation.

Contractor access through the reserve is required while the work is carried out, so to ensure the safety of the public Fairy Pools Reserve will be closed for approximately four months.

Unfortunately no alternative access to the reserve is available during this closure.

Contractor signage notifying the public of the closure is currently in place on Fairy Pools Lane. Additional council signage will be installed at all official reserve access points shortly.

The reserve closure was approved under section 53 of the Reserves Act 1977.
