About the project

The nature of the proposed works includes:  

  • widening of the existing two-lane urban arterial to include walking and cycling facilities on both sides of the corridor.  
  • realignment of Station Road to form a new signalised intersection with SH16 and Tapu Road.  
  • tie-ins with existing roads, stormwater dry ponds, wetlands and culverts.  
  • batter slopes to enable widening of the corridor, and associated cut and fill activities (earthworks).  
  • vegetation removal along the existing road corridor.
  • 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.
