Details
Takarangi 3 - July 2025 to end December 2025.
From April 2026 to end June 2026 further revegetation planting will be undertaken to complete the Green Point area of Takapūneke Reserve.
Takarangi 3 will include a raised walkway leading to a platform with a feature pou and seating. A path network will connect the takarangi 1, 2 and 3 and out to Britomart entranceway.
Impact of work
- The work will be noisy while we complete the earthworks and construct footpaths, as well as raised viewing and seating platforms.
- At times, some on-street parking on Stanley Place and Beach Road will be restricted for safety reasons.
- A temporary yard will be established at the Ōnuku landfill site for the duration of Stage 2 construction along with a staging yard off Beach Road.
- You can expect an increase in the number of trucks travelling through Akaroa township during this work.
- During construction, Takapūneke Reserve will remain open, however at certain times localised areas will be restricted for safety reasons.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
