Wilson Road North and Stormwater upgrade
Starting late 2025 Estimated duration: 4 months
Kia ora, welcome to the Wilson Road North project page. Here, you'll find everything you need to know about the project, including latest updates, and a timeline of upcoming steps.
We're rebuilding Wilson Road North to improve road safety and access for the Maketu community.
The project includes a full road rebuild along Wilson Road North, stormwater drainage improvements, and the extension of the footpath to the houses north of Arawa Ave - a priority raised by the Community Board to support safer walking routes to the school for tamariki.
What to expect during the work
We’re committed to minimising disruption as much as possible. However, during the project:
The road will be closed to traffic from late 2025 for four months, but residents will still be able to access their properties.
You may notice noise, vibration, machinery, and work crews during the day.
We’ll keep residents, businesses, and schools regularly updated.
Key info:
Start date: Oct/Nov 2025
Duration: 4 months
Access: Local access for residents will be maintained
Impacted area: Near Maketu School and along Wilson Road North
Have patai (questions), or want to kōrero with someone?
