What’s happening?
From mid-June 2025, we will begin a 9-month project to upgrade the road, stormwater system, and drinking water pipes along Boucher Avenue and surrounding streets.
These essential works will take place in stages across the following streets:
Boucher Avenue
Cameron Road
Clydesburn Avenue
Glen Terrace
Randell Place
No.2 Road
Dudley Vercoe Drive
Why are we doing this?
This area is a key route in Te Puke – used frequently by residents, students and families, emergency services, kiwifruit industry traffic, and others in our community. This work is essential to improve road conditions and safety, and to ensure our water and stormwater infrastructure continues to serve the community well into the future.
By coordinating all three upgrades - roading, stormwater and watermain pipes - into one project, it's more cost efficient, and we'll minimise future disruption by avoiding the need to return to the same streets later. Multiple contractors will work across the area to deliver the upgrades efficiently.
What to expect during the work
We’re committed to minimising disruption as much as possible. However, during the project you may notice:
Stop/go traffic controls or one-way sections
Temporary changes to property access or delays
Detours via alternate roads
Noise, vibration, machinery, and work crews during the day
We’ll keep residents, businesses, and schools regularly updated.
Thank you for your patience as we carry out these essential improvements. Together, we’re making Te Puke safer, stronger, and ready for the future.
