Starting early 2026 Estimated duration: 6 months
Kia ora, welcome to the Wilson Road North project page. Here, you'll find everything you need to know about the project, including the latest updates and next steps.
We're rebuilding Wilson Road North to improve the road, stormwater management, and walking routes 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:
• Wilson Road North will potentially be closed to through-traffic, but access will remain open for residents.
• Access to Maketu School will be always maintained, including for buses and private vehicles during school drop-off and pick-up times.
• Expect to see construction crews, machinery, and daytime noise
• Thanks to those of you who came along to our community info session on Tuesday 9 December at the Maketū Community Centre. During construction, we’ll do everything we can to minimise disruption and keep the community informed.
Key info:
Start date: Early 2026
Duration: 6 months
Access: Local access for residents will be maintained
Impacted area: Near Maketu School and along Wilson Road North
