Construction is due for completion by Friday 8 August, depending on the weather.
The work will mainly be carried out during the day between 7am–5pm, however some tasks may need to be done at night for the safety of everyone when they cannot be completed during the day. The traffic management will remain in place 24hrs.
A map of the detour is attached.
Note: Since the design was consulted on last year, the proposed pedestrian crossing across Raleigh Rd has been removed from the project as it clashed with a permitted development resource consent at a neighbouring property. However there is the existing pedestrian crossing on Raleigh Rd not far from the intersection that can be used.
This intersection has long been a risky one, in particular for vehicles exiting from Ocean View Rd onto Pupuke Rd, and it is only going to get worse as traffic increases with population growth. There are also growing wait times and difficulties for pedestrians crossing.
The proposed design turns it into a traffic light-controlled intersection with pedestrian crossings.
Changes include:
* Installing traffic lights at all corners of the intersection.
* Installing traffic light-controlled crossings across Ocean View Road and the left turn lane from Pupuke Road, to give people who walk or use a wheelchair safe places to cross.
* Merging of the lanes from Ocean View Road into one lane for both directions.
* Brighter street lights to improve visibility.
* Undergrounding a couple of power poles on Raleigh Road.
* Adding high-friction road surfacing on the left turn lane from Pupuke Road on to Ocean View Road to encourage safe turning speeds.
* Upgrading the existing traffic island to include better turning lines for vehicles, and footpaths and ramps for people who walk or use a wheelchair.
* Widening kerbs and the traffic island for safer waiting areas for people walking.
* Placing yellow guidance pavers on all pedestrian crossing points for the visually impaired.
* Placing ‘no stopping at all times’ yellow lines six metres from the intersection on all sides to discourage stopped vehicles that would block traffic and obstruct drivers’ views. This would remove approximately three north-side and two south-side on-street parking spaces on the Ocean View Road side of the intersection.

Cost of living has been on our minds lately, and one cost often lamented in our office is parking.
We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.

We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.
The average daily parking fee being paid in CBDs:
$39.53 in Auckland,
$37.83 in Wellington,
and $32.60 in Christchurch.
But again, the range is wild! Aucklanders could be paying anything from $12 to $80, Wellingtonians from $15 to $50, and if you are in Christchurch, you are looking at $10 to $98.
Neighbours, we want to know: How much are you paying for daily parking fees?
Do you have any tips on how to find cheaper parks?
From July 2025, access to Te Onewa Pā at Stokes Point Reserve will be closed until early 2026 due to essential maintenance on the underside of SH1 Auckland Harbour Bridge. Visit the NZTA website to find out how you might be affected.
