Amohia Street stormwater project
The Amohia Street stormwater catchment upgrade is making its presence felt in and around Iver Trask Place, Paraparaumu. So far, approximately 10% of 805 metres of new stormwater pipes, and one of the 15 service holes have been installed.
Currently, traffic is flowing one-way along Iver Trask Place, with access from Rimu Road closed. Please access Iver Trask Place from Brett Ambler Way or Ngahina Street and take care when in this area. Our library and neighbours at Cafe Novella are still open for you to enjoy.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as our crews progress this important project. It’s part of the plan to reduce flooding within the Amohia and Ruahine Street catchment areas and help prepare the district to live with more water.
