Papakōwhai Rd traffic management and detours
Construction of the new Papakōwhai Rd shared path is underway with traffic management and detours in place. Please use alternative routes and expect delays.
Work will generally take place between 7am – 6pm weekdays, with some weekend and night work possible and is expected to be completed by this winter.
What to expect on Papakōwhai Rd:
• The northbound lane will remain open during most of the work (apart from the occasional night-time detour)
• The southbound lane will be detoured around adjacent roads during some phases of construction.
Other traffic management measures in place include speed restrictions, removal of on-street parking, stop/go and narrowed road widths.
This pathway is 100% funded by the Government’s Transport Choices Programme led by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
