Following the recent storm event, significant damage has occurred to trees within Cousins Avenue Reserve (Foxton Beach) and Target Reserve (Foxton).
An independent forestry assessment has identified areas where trees have fallen, are unstable, or are leaning over tracks and recreation areas. These conditions present a serious safety risk, including the potential for further trees or branches to fall without warning.
For public safety, both reserves are closed until further notice while specialist forestry work is planned to remove hazardous trees and make the areas safe again.
Please do not enter the reserves or attempt to clear tracks.
Council will provide updates once the required works programme has been confirmed.
