Kia ora, welcome to the No.1 Road rehabilitation project page. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the project, including latest updates, and a timeline of upcoming steps. Check out the information on the right-hand side of this page for all this and more.
About the project
No.1 Road is getting a partial reconstruction to improve safety and make it more user friendly. The $3.2 million project will be completed over two years and will include widening two of the middle sections of the road. The road will also be lowered at the intersection with Cannell Farm Drive, in preparation for future extension works to join the two roads. The first section of works, spanning property numbers 58 to 195, started on 1 October 2024, and is expected to be completed by mid-October 2025.
What’s happening now? (30 July 2025)
We are aware of recent concerns about potholes along No. 1 Road. Our transport team has identified the most affected section of road is between numbers 80 and 146, and we have instructed our contractor to carry out targeted pothole repairs to keep the road safe for everyone.
Full repairs in this section of road aren't possible at this time, as the stormwater drainage currently being constructed off-road will move on-road next week.
From mid-August, we'll resume building the road from properties 146 to 196. This will include:
Cement stabilisation of the existing sub-base layer
Placement and compaction of a new base-course layer
Chipseal surfacing
Weather permitting, we are aiming to have this finished by mid-October.

We're continuing stormwater drainage works, but progress has been delayed by bad weather and unforeseen ground conditions. Fingers crossed for better weather ahead!
19 June 2025
Relocation of the Chorus cables continues. The works have been delayed by the heavy rainstorms over the past couple of weeks.
Our main contactor is making good progress with the stormwater discharge at No. 73.
The weather caused some minor damage that will be repaired by the contractor.
