Closing Awatea Place for final stages

7 March 2023

Our Contractor is closing Awatea Place from 7:00 am Wednesday 8 March to 6:00 pm Friday 16 June 2023.

This closure will help them to safely carry out the final stages to complete this Pump Station project.

The start date of this work could move depending on investigation work and third-party availability to undertake service relocations.

Residents will be spoken to before the closure begins. The contractor will try to leave the road open if at all possible.

Closure of Awatea Place is required to:

  • Allow changes in one lane traffic flows along Parkers Road for HCL to complete the manhole/pipe works and resurface Parkers Road.
  • To start connection works at the corner of Awatea Place and Parkers Road including service relocations, sheet piling, excavation and pipe work on the existing pump station outside 1/1 Awatea Place.
  • Completion of stormwater pipework at the airport end of Awatea Place.
  • Removal of the temporary pumping main in the berm down Awatea Place.
  • Final kerbing, berm reinstatement and road resurfacing works in Awatea Place.

Awatea Place will remain closed for the duration of the work. Work on the pump station site is scheduled to be completed in August/September 2023.

Where possible our Contractor will maintain vehicle access to residents’ properties via the previously used driveway at 119 Parkers Road. When Awatea Place is closed to vehicle access, the temporary residents’ car park area will be available.

Pedestrian access will also be available. Rubbish and recycling bins will be collected as normal.

An overall graphic of these points is shown below for reference.
