Wallace Street works
Works under the conditions of Alert Level 3 have been approved to restart in Wallace Street as part of the Omāroro reservoir project. Strict safety measures will be in place to protect workers on site, residents and other members of the public. These include workers keeping to their “bubbles” on site and strict controls on everyone coming in and out of the worksites.
Normal work hours are 7am – 6pm, with noisy work not beginning until 7.30am. Sometimes work will need to be done on Saturday mornings, when noisy work will not begin before 8am. No work will be done on Sundays unless it is an emergency. Safe pedestrian access will be maintained on all streets at all times.
Working on roads is very dangerous for people, and traffic management is a key part of reducing this risk. Please take care around construction sites as there may be uneven surfaces.
There are range of updates as part of this work that apply to nearby streets, for more detail on this please visit the link below.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
