The Council has been presented with 3 options: A and B (No speed limit change for Waikawa Beach) and C (Permanent 30km/h speed limit for Waikawa).
The Submissions document has 271 pages. After skimming through, it seems maybe half a dozen to a dozen locals made submissions on the potential changes for Waikawa Beach. Opinions were varied — for and against.
There was also a contingent from the stretch of Waikawa Beach Road near SH1 asking for a reduced speed limit between SH1 and Takapu Road.
