Dear Greenhithe residents,

Please find updates on the Rahui Reserve section of Northern Interceptor Wastewater Pipe Project from the contractor below:

The current Traffic Management Plan has been extended until the end of July 2020. At the completion of the chamber works, the road closure will be uplifted, and the road will be open to through traffic again. 

New toilet block 

  • We are pleased to advise that a new toilet block will be installed at Rahui Reserve during late September/early October 2020. The toilet will be replaced in the same footprint as the previous building with the entry doors facing the roadway. This is in accordance with Auckland Council’s guidelines that can be found here: https://infocouncil.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/Open/2019/07/DT_20190716_AGN_7355_AT_files/DT_20190716_AGN_7355_AT_Attachment_69454_2.PDF  
  • Toilet Features 
    • A clear opening manual swing door, closing and locking. 
    • Modern 2 x disabled access unisex toilets designed by Exeloo 
    • The exterior cladding is Futurewood batons which reduces the risk of graffiti attack. 
    • 1 x LED lighting above each toilet sign. 
    • White tile interior walls

Traffic Road/Paper Road reinstatement 

The paper road will be reinstated to be like it was prior to our arrival on site. We are required to reinstate the area with grass and native planting. This is programmed to be completed by July 2020. 

Reinstatement and replanting of the wider area will be undertaken with a variety of native plants to replace what was removed prior to construction. An LED streetlight will also be replaced at the Reserve. These improvements will create a more attractive space for the community to enjoy for years to come. 

If you have any questions regarding these works, please email Stakeholder Manager Claire at NIproject@water.co.nz or phone directly on 021 607 774. Watercare’s Customer Services team are available at info@water.co.nz or on (09) 442 2222, Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 6.00pm (except public holidays).
