This work will take about 20 weeks from 28 August 2019 to Mid-January 2020. Hours of work will generally be 7am-6pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturdays worked if necessary. The construction work will largely be undertaken within the road reserve within Duncan Street.

Traffic management is changing throughout the project and we will continue to advise each major change of traffic management.

On 28 August, southbound traffic on Duncan Street will be detoured around the worksite via Tawa Terrace to the Tawa Street roundabout (red arrow). Northbound traffic will be one-way from the Tawa Street roundabout to the Tawa Terrace intersection (green arrow).

While work areas will be fenced off, we will make sure that you have access to your property at all times. There may be occasions when the contractor needs to gain access to your property although we’ll give you at least 24 hours’ notice of this. If you have any concerns with access, you can contact our project team anytime. On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and so we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas.

It takes the right person with the right attitude to succeed in the trades. Someone with grit, determination and endurance. These are the kinds of strengths that women have and that the industry needs.

Like Victoria Mitchell from Legacy Custom Construction in Lower Hutt - A single mum of two boys, she went from running her own cleaning business to just finishing her first-year carpentry apprenticeship.

If you’re a woman interested in the trades, read how local women are doing it or register for The BCITO & Mitre 10 Building Women night to meet them and employers in person.
