Improving connections on Ngatai Road
On Tuesday 21 January we are starting with the improvements works on Ngatai Road between Otumoetai Road and the Matua Saltmarsh.
With three schools in the area, we are especially mindful of the safety of our children going to and from school. These works will not only help them in their daily journeys but also contribute to better connections between Bellevue, Matua, Otumoetai, Pillans Point and the central city.
Traffic management will be in place while we start with the first element of the project: the build of two shared crossings. This will include stop/go traffic control.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
