Ponsonby Plaza - the new civic space at 254 Ponsonby Road
It is with the greatest of pleasure that the Community-Led Design Group can now share the Preliminary design for Phase One of the new civic space at 254 Ponsonby Road with you all.
"Phase One will deliver the essential elements of the civic space, including landscaping, repurposing the existing forecourt canopy structure to provide a space for markets and events, and installing new public toilet facilities".
Funding for Phase One is through an endowment fund only available for this project and is therefore not impacted by Auckland Council’s ongoing financial challenges and the upcoming 10-year budget.

-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
