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 February 2025.

What’s happening now? (13 February 2025)

Over the past week we've installed stormwater pipes and manholes at numbers 142 and 186.

We've also relocated the existing fibre optic cable draw-pit. This is a chamber used for removing damaged cables and pulling through new cables.


(5 February 2025)

Here's what we've been up to lately:

  • Pavement sub-base layer placed between properties 105-191 (the next step is to stabilise this layer with cement)
  • Preparing for relocation of a 63mm diameter watermain between numbers 98 and 191
  • Started installing stormwater drainage over bulk watermain
  • Backfilled new kerbs outside numbers 142 to 186
  • Continued with utility service relocations
