Details
The Takapūneke Reserve development is to be implemented in stages. Stage one is the installation of the Pou and ground works for the takarangi (double spiral). This work is to be completed by early February 2022, in time for Waitangi celebrations.
The earth works involve installing retaining walls and creating a flat platform for the Pou in the centre of the takarangi. A path spiralling out from the Pou will provide an accessible entrance to a vehicle drop-off area on Stanley Place.
We’ll complete further landscaping, planting and install new furniture by mid-2022.
Impact of work:
- The work will be noisy while we complete the earthworks and build the retaining walls.
- Some on-street parking will be restricted on Stanley Place for safety reasons.
- A temporary yard will be set up on the Ōnuku landfill site.
- There will be an increased number of trucks moving through Akaroa township during the work.
There’ll be no public access to the reserve while we do this work.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
