About the project

The nature of the proposed works includes:  

  • a new 16km long rapid transit corridor (RTC) with separated walking and cycling facilities along some of its length from Bawden Road to the point where the RTC crosses Dairy Flat Highway, with connections to other proposed/existing active mode facilities. 
  • works on existing State Highway 1 to construct part of the new RTC corridor.  
  • batter slopes and associated cut and fill earthworks.  
  • new or upgraded intersections, bridges, embankments, retaining, culverts, stormwater management systems, lighting, landscaping, utility services.  
  • changes to local roads, where the proposed work intersects with local roads.
  • construction related activities including vegetation removal, construction compounds, laydown areas, bridge works areas, construction traffic management and the regrade of driveway.
  • Project status and anticipated construction timeframes

    This project is currently in the appeal period. Submitters had 15 working days in which they could appeal to the Environment Court, against the whole or any part of the decision from NZTA. Appeals are under Section 174 of the Resource Management Act 1991.   

    During this process NZTA works together with appellants to come to a resolution.  If the parties can't resolve the appeal independently, the Environment Court can appoint a mediator to facilitate the conversation. If a resolution can't be reached through court assisted mediation, then an Environment Court hearing will take place, and the Environment Court will issue a decision on the outcome. 

    There is currently no funding for detailed design or construction of these projects. We anticipate the project will be delivered sometime within the next 30 years to align with Auckland Council’s land use planning.
