Consultation has concluded
As part of the Long Term Plan 2024-2034, Council decided to keep Te Puna Station Road closed, while it continues to assess the most appropriate solution for its long-term future.
This will still allow access for pedestrians and cyclists, as we will relocate the shared path to the western side away from the riverbank as well as maintain optionality for the future of the road.
In response to concerns relating to the impact of heavy vehicles using Clarke Road, we will prioritise ways this can be addressed including a potential review of the Traffic and Parking Enforcement Bylaw 2019.

What's the future of Te Puna Station Road? has finished this stage
In October 2022, a storm event triggered slips on Te Puna Station Road.
The road was closed to traffic during Auckland Anniversary weekend in January after severe weather led to large slips, meaning a 600-metre stretch of the road needed repairs.
Crews worked tirelessly on repairing the road, and in May 2023, it was safely re-opened to pedestrians and cyclists.
