Kilmarnock Rd to be closed permanently + maintenance for social housing in Waiau approved
From local democracy reporter David Hill:
Hurunui District councillors have voted to permanently close Kilmarnock Rd in Greta Valley and to authorise maintenance to the council’s social housing units in Waiau.
This followed a bridging engineers report in 2020 stating Deans bridge was no longer serviceable as a public road bridge and should be removed from service.
Following discussions with the neighbouring landowner, staff recommended the road be closed at the council’s expense and the road and infrastructure be handed over to the landowner, who would accept liability for the bridge.
A recent property inspection of the social housing units in Leslie St, Waiau, found the plywood panels in each of the units was damaged at the bottom edge, exterior painting was faded and mould was starting to grow.
The costs will be covered from a budgeted surplus of $23,841 from the social housing units, which were established following the November 2016 earthquake.
