Tasman’s Great Taste Cycle Trail is set to reopen the Spooners Tunnel section by December after significant storm damage repairs funded by $1.6 million from the New Zealand Cycle Trail Fund. The reopening will restore a popular, family-friendly route, boosting local businesses such as bike hire, cafes, and accommodations. While an on-road detour remains between Wakefield and Belgrove, the trail’s revival offers both locals and visitors enhanced outdoor experiences and supports the regional economy.
