This joint project between our Roading and Wastewater teams will see a new, much-needed pedestrian crossing point from the Tikipunga Sports Park shared path to Otuihau (Whangārei Falls), as well as the construction of a caravan dump station on a new access loop from Kiripaka Road.  

This dump station replaces the previous caravan dump station at Te Maika Road in Ngunguru (opposite Ngunguru Primary School), where the site was deemed no longer suitable. 

The site has also been designed for future implementation of a water refill station for commercial and rural users.

It also allows for a future carpark extension / spillover parking for the Tikipunga Sports Park and Otuihau. 

The project includes work to provide for: 

  • new and renewed footpaths providing improved pedestrian connectivity and crossing points with new tactile ground-surface indicators for visually impaired pedestrians to meet New Zealand standards  
  • the installation of new pedestrian refuge islands to provide clear crossing points for pedestrians and to slow vehicles on side roads
  • new kerb and channel, and improved drainage  
  • new lighting to comply with current best practice and design standards 
  • new signage and road markings to better delineate parking in the area (which can be a problem in winter months) and pedestrians  
  • a new caravan dump station with two separate bays for joint use of more than one caravan. 

Throughout the construction, there will be some disruption to our customers. We will work with our contractor to ensure notice is provided.  

Boundary Road may have intermittent closures to allow ample room for the contractors to complete these works safely and quickly, and to limit the overall disruption to the community.
