The Oaks Reserve and Courtenay Esplanade Accessway Linkages
The Waimakariri Residential Red Zone Recovery Plan included proposed development of Recreation and Ecological Linkages throughout the regeneration areas. In Kaiapoi South, these included the Courtenay Esplanade, accessway, and connection to The Oaks.
Timing of work:
Fastgrass plan to commence the works from Monday 17 June 2024. The works are likely to take four to six weeks, subject to weather.
How the work may affect you:
There will be some pathway closures while work is underway. There may be some minor construction noise but we will try to keep disruption to a minimum. Works will be carried out between the hours of 7am to 6pm, Monday to Saturdays only.
