Details

We’re carrying out natural enhancement works to a section of Greens Stream adjacent to Riverstone Drive, Halswell. This involves restoring the stream banks, installing walking paths and footbridges, and creating habitat for native wildlife.

  • Construction of a new footpath along the northern (true left) bank of Greens Stream, linking to the new shared path on Halswell Road.
  • Construction of a new footpath along the southern (true right) bank, extending the existing haul road access.
  • Installing two new pedestrian footbridges – one at the western end (connecting to Halswell Road) and one at the eastern end (connecting to Riverstone Drive).
  • Installing two new access platforms on the southern bank.
  • Reshaping approximately 110 metres of eroded stream banks in the western section.
  • Substantial native planting and habitat enhancement throughout the site.

Traffic Impacts:

  • Traffic management will be in place on Halswell Road from 9 March to 10 March 2026 while tree removal is carried out. At times stop/go will be in place which may cause short delays.
  • A 30 km/h speed limit will be in place with traffic flow in both directions maintained.

Information for residents and neighbours:

  • You may see us on site completing some enabling works before the main project begins.
  • Access to properties will be maintained at all times.
  • There will be increased construction noise and vibration at times, particularly during earthworks, and we will do our best to keep this to a minimum.
  • Please look out for CORDE staff and follow the signage on site. If you need direction, please approach a staff member who will be able to assist.

We know this work can be disruptive, and we appreciate your co-operation and understanding.
