We’re constructing a new stormwater pipe under Bridge Street, from the road-side drain at Reserve Road to the Taranaki Stream.

Noise and dirt
Road work is noisy, dirty business – but please bear with us. We will be doing all we can to minimise the impact on your home/business. Your cooperation and patience will help us get the job done as quickly as possible. All work will be carried out between the stated hours only to help minimise the impact on the community.
Easy does it
Bitumen, concrete and other road repair materials require a bit of care after they are applied. Please treat all new surfaces with extra care following the completion of this project.
