Consultation now closed on Drury and Ōpāheke projects

January 2020: Consultation now closed on Drury and Ōpāheke projects.

In December 2019 and January 2020, we sought feedback on the draft preferred option for projects within the Drury and Ōpāheke areas. Thank you to those who provided feedback – we are now collating this and will use it to check we haven't missed anything important for these projects which are being progressed through Detailed Business Cases.

Below is further information for each project in the Drury and Ōpāheke areas:

• New Opāheke North-South Connection and upgrade to Waihoehoe Road
• Upgrading Bremner and Norrie Road (east)
• Upgrading Jesmond Road, Auranga Road 1 and Bremner Road
• Upgrading State Highway 22

Next steps

Once we’ve received and considered your feedback and undertaken further technical investigations, we’ll be in a position to talk about potential property impacts and will be in contact with property owners when we have this information. From there, we’ll start the route protection (e.g. designation) process to protect the land needed for each project.

What about the projects not included in this consultation?

Over the coming months, the Supporting Growth team will continue technical investigations for the other projects identified in the Indicative Strategic Transport Network for southern Auckland, as part of the Detailed Business Case phase.

There will be further consultation with stakeholders, property owners and the community on some of these projects in early-mid 2020.
