Please plan for significant traffic delays on Kaipatiki Road from Monday 8 May 2023 until March 2024.

Stop/go signs or traffic lights will continue to be in operation along Kaipatiki Road between Stanley Road and the bridge. Please follow the direction of traffic management staff and traffic signage to keep everyone safe.
Stage 2: From late May 2023 to march 2024:
KAIPATIKI ROAD BETWEEN STANLEY ROAD AND EASTON PARK PARADE WILL BE ONE WAY. A detour will be in place via Peach Road, however Watercare are advising everyone to avoid the area if possible.
Stop/go signs or traffic lights will continue to be in operation along Kaipatiki Road between Stanley Road and the bridge, and also at the bottom of Easton Park Parade. Please follow the direction of traffic management staff and traffic signage to keep everyone safe.

About the project:
This is a massive year-long project to upgrade and reroute the wastewater pipes from the Kahika Rd pumpstation, along Kaipatiki Road and up Easton Park Parade. It will then connect to the existing wastewater line to carry sewage through to the Rosedale wastewater treatment plant.
The new 2 kilometre-long pipe will increase capacity and help to reduce overflows and discharges into Kaipatiki Creek.
The current pipe that goes over the pipebridge and through Bayview will be decommissioned. Private property connections will be moved from the current pipe to the new pipe.
Most of Francis Kendall Reserve (between Kaipatiki Rd and Chedworth Drive) is currently closed as the first section of work to be done will be directional underground drilling from the pump station to Francis Kendall Reserve, and then from the reserve back to the northern side of Kaipatiki Rd.

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?
