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 late August 2025.
What’s happening now?
29 May 2025
We've finished relocating the watermain under the widened road surface, and new ducts are in place for the Chorus telecommunication cables, which we expect to be installed next week.
Our contractor is busy building a new stormwater discharge facility at the downhill end of the road (at no.73). This work includes the development of new wetland areas and plantings to improve water quality, support wildlife and reduce flooding.
Access track and new stormwater pipes.
Development of new wetland.

The new watermain has been installed, and Chorus are currently on site drilling new ducts to relocate fibre cables affected by road widening.
Towards the end of the month, J Swap will be building new stormwater drainage discharges beside the road.
Once Chorus has finished relocating their services, we'll finish rebuilding the road surface. We'll start this work mid-June and expect to be finished by late August.
Construction of the new road surface was put on hold at the end of March, so that watermains and telecommunications cables could be relocated.
To minimise the impact on both residents and road users during this time, we applied a temporary bitumen seal to suppress dust, and reduce the use of stop/go controls to keep traffic moving.
We know this is a busy road, especially during the kiwifruit season, and thank everyone for their patience.
