Kaipatiki Road - Changes to the one-way section from Thursday 28 September:
As part of the Kahika Wastewater Upgrade Project, contractors will be repairing two slips along the roadside that occurred during the storms earlier this year. CB Civil will replace a damaged section of stormwater pipe and construct a retaining wall for Auckland Council. At the same time Fulton Hogan will construct another retaining wall for Auckland Transport.
This work will take approximately 10 weeks and during this time, the one-way portion of Kaipatiki Road will change direction.
Also the one-way section will extend into Easton Park Parade, so no traffic will be able to go up Easton Park Parade from Kaipatiki Rd. See the attached map for how traffic will be affected from 28 September.
The next stage after this will be to go past the Stanley Rd/Kaipatiki Rd roundabout.
• Work hours are typically from 7:00am to 5:00pm on Monday to Friday with potential work on Saturdays.
• Vehicles will only be allowed to drive downhill on Easton Park Parade past the road closure. Uphill traffic will be detoured up Kaipatiki Road.
• Signage will indicate the work zones and any closed lanes/routes.
For property owners on Easton Park Parade:
• Every effort will be made to minimise noise and vibrations and ensure that they are within the permitted levels.
• Driveway access will be disrupted to some properties as the works proceed past them. Watercare will be in communication with affected properties before any work commences and arrange alternative parking.
• You will ALWAYS have pedestrian and wheel chair access to your property - only vehicle access is affected.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
