Kilbirnie Stormwater Renewal updates
Work on the Kilbirnie Stormwater Renewal has been going well, and we are working hard to make as much progress as we can during the school holidays.
We are currently working south across the intersection of Evans Bay Parade and Kilbirnie Crescent.
This map shows our area of work and diversions that are currently in place.
Once we have moved through this intersection we will be working towards the intersection of Rongotai Road and Bay Road (approx. mid-August).
We appreciate your continued patience as we work to reduce flooding risk in Kilbirnie.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
