Roto Kohatu Reserve - new entrance development

What

Development of a new entrance into the Roto Kohatu Reserve from Lakeside Place.

Why

We are developing a new public entrance into the reserve from Lakeside Place. This entrance has been designed to improve safety, quality and durability of the access for both vehicles and pedestrians. The development here will create a shorter public entry point into the reserve, by eliminating the current access route for vehicles into the reserve via the existing gravel driveway off Sawyers Arms Road.

Where

Roto Kohatu, Lakeside Place, Harewood.

When

2 September 2024 to late November 2024. Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm (weather/site dependent).

Contact

The contractor is City Care Ltd. Phone 0508 2489 2273, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Please advise if you have specific access requirements which could be affected during this process.

  • The existing driveway entrance from Sawyers Arms Road will remain open and the main entrance into the reserve until the new development has been completed.
