Northcote’s new greenway edges closer to completion
A new green space for sport and recreation is closer to being delivered for the Northland community.
Greenslade Reserve will soon enter stage two works later this month following a funding boost from the Government.
The upgrade will deliver a high-performance sports field, flourishing urban wetland, and recreational facilities including terraced seating, a BBQ area and a walkway.
Underground stormwater pipes will also be replaced to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding in and around the town centre.
Kaipātiki Local Board chair John Gillon said it is fantastic news that stage two of the work is able to proceed.
"This project supports the Northcote redevelopment, while also improving our park and environment,” he said.
“What will be delivered here will benefit the Northcote community for many years to come, and help to change the whole dynamic of the surrounding area.”
Stage two was confirmed following a funding boost through the Government’s “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects scheme, a scheme aimed to get the economy going post-COVID-19. Auckland Council and Kāinga Ora welcome this funding for the Northcote Development project, which includes works at Greenslade Reserve.
The commencement of stage two works will means that there will be no access to the reserve during construction. Construction is expected to begin this month and conclude next winter.
