Swimming alert at Fitzroy Beach

Please don’t swim or gather food at Fitzroy Beach.

Testing of the water at the beach by Taranaki Regional Council on 9 December returned elevated levels of the potentially-harmful bacteria.

We’re sorry this will inconvenience people hoping to spend the weekend at Fitzroy Beach.

Check our Can I Swim page for information on other beaches.

These changes improve the safety of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists along a particularly busy and narrow section of Devon Street West.

The project included:

  • Building an on-road cycling connection between Belair Avenue and Bayly Road (which completes the Belt Road to Barret Road connection).
  • Building a shared pathway between Stuart Place and Bayly Road.
  • Improving side-street intersections with South Road/Devon Street West for pedestrian safety.
  • At Blagdon, relocating parking spaces from the north side of Devon Street West to South Road (near Squire Place).
  • Installing a central refuge islands for pedestrians crossing Devon Street West at the Blagdon shops.
  • Altering the main Blagdon intersection so that all traffic entering the Moturoa leg of South Road will use the slip lane.
