Nau mai (welcome)! This is your place to find key information on the Ōmokoroa Road Stage 2 Urbanisation project.
Project Overview:
The Ōmokoroa Peninsula is experiencing rapid growth, with an expected population of 13,000 residents by 2050. To support this growth and manage the increasing traffic demands, we're upgrading a section of Ōmokoroa Road - from Prole Road to the railway. This project will enhance road safety, provide better transport options, improve accessibility and ensure the infrastructure meets urban standards.
Work on the project is set to begin in February 2025 and is expected to wrap up by mid-2026.
Higgins Contractors has been contracted to carry out the work on behalf of Council.
Key upgrades include:
Widening the current two-lane road to four-lanes
Shared cycling and walking pathways
Upgrade of the Ōmokoroa Road-Flounder Drive intersection
Signalised pedestrian access
Connections for future amenities
Improvements to water mains
Relocating utilities
How will the works affect me?
Temporary traffic management will be in place on Ōmokoroa Road from the Prole Road intersection to the railway bridge. This will include lane shifts and contraflow to maintain traffic flow in both directions, with a reduced speed limit of 30 km/h to ensure the safety of the community and our team. Through the narrower sections, stop/go controls may be used.
To enable construction works across Flounder Drive, the intersection of Ōmokoroa Road and Flounder Drive will be closed for a period of the works. A detour will be in place via Ōmokoroa Road, Ridge Drive, and Stingray Drive.
For nearby residents and businesses - our teams will strive to keep noise and vibration to a minimum.
