To safely carry out the watermain renewal project on Racecourse Road, we need to trim up to seven trees along the roadway to ensure that machinery can pass through without risk of hitting and damaging the trees.
Our contractors, Treescape will be trimming the trees on Friday, June 27 from 8.30am to 4.30pm. The work will be done under the current road closure on the section of Racecourse Road between Mangapiko Street and Taylor Avenue.
Access to this section of Racecourse Road will be via SH3 Ōhaupō Road or Taylor Avenue. Traffic heading to Racecourse Road from Mangapiko Street or Factory Road will need to use an alternate route.
Residents and their visitors, and emergency services, will have full access. There may be times when we will need to close your driveway. Please ask the staff onsite if you need assistance.
The watermain renewal project will ensure water meets future demands as our towns grow. The upgrades will provide improved, consistent supply and pressure, as well as improving firefighting capacity.
