Upper section of Dixon Street now open
We’re pleased to announce that the upper section of Dixon Street (towards MacDonald Cres) is now open to both up and downhill traffic, as we have successfully completed the works required to secure the adit which collapsed in December 2019. This involved removing the collapsed material, strengthening the area with concrete and grout injections, building a wall inside the adit and filling it to make it secure. During the adit works we also took the opportunity to renew wastewater and stormwater pipes along the upper section of Dixon Street.
Our thanks to the residents, businesses and public for their patience during this project, as well as all the engineering and front line crews who worked on it.
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.

Dickie Hart is told by wife Glenda they have to move from Wellington to Auckland. How will Dickie cope with apartment living, meeting new people, Covid lockdown, getting a new driver's licence…and possibly even having to support The Blues?
"Once again, clever Sir Roger Hall strikes comedy gold…End of Summer Time is a great night out. Don’t miss it!”
