Bodle Drive Improvements

Back in 2021, we put together a road improvement plan for Bodle Drive. That plan was all about adding pedestrian pathways, visitor parking, and making sure buses could get through.

Now with the Riversdale Beach Community Plan (2024-2034) completed we have revisited this plan to make sure it fits the needs of the Riversdale Beach Community and considers the changes after Cyclone Gabrielle. This plan went out to the public in early 2025 for feedback and a final plan is being created to present to Councillors.

What's happening?

Here’s a quick rundown of the steps in this process. We are currently at step five, your feedback is being put together into a final proposal for Councillors:

  1. Chat with key stakeholders
  2. Draft the concept plan
  3. Engage with Riversdale residents and stakeholders about the draft
  4. Gather your feedback and finalise the plan
  5. Present the concept plan to Councillors

If Elected Members give it the green light, we’ll seek funding to include the project in the next Annual Plan or Long-Term Plan.
