Improvements to Paetiki shops and surrounding roads

Project overview

The Paetiki shops and surrounding roads are about to get a $200,000 makeover to make it a safer, more attractive and more user-friendly environment.

The work is set to start in early November and will feature a small number of new car parks, a redeveloped mobility car park, improved landscaping on the corner and visibility and safety improvements on Taharepa Road. The project was budgeted for in the Long-term Plan after a submission asking for improvements to the area.

There will be some disruption to traffic and pedestrians while the work takes place. Please drive carefully in this area to keep our contractors and community safe while this work is carried out.

The work will take a few weeks and is scheduled to be completed by the end of November, weather permitting.
