Infrastructure
Paraparaumu Transport Hub: We’ve partnered with Greater Wellington Regional Council and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to expand and upgrade the transport hub to improve our community’s public transport experience and connections to our retail area. Design and planning work is now complete. We expect construction to begin in April/May 2022. kapiticoast.govt.nz/transport-hub
Hautere Water Treatment Plant upgrade:
We’re working to upgrade the Hautere water treatment plant processes to remove turbidity and ensure access to safe and reliable drinking water supply. Stage one, securing the water supply, is underway. Three new bores were drilled in early 2022 and are due to come online in late May. Stage two of the upgrade, ensuring quality drinking water, is in the early design phase. kapiticoast.govt.nz/hautere-water
Paekākāriki seawall: Through our Longterm Plan 2021-41, it was decided we would rebuild the Paekākāriki seawall in timber to improve protection of the road, infrastructure and the beach environment. Phase one of the build will focus on the main accessway to the beach, across from Campbell Park. The design and methodology is currently being finalised. We expect to release a tender for this work in early to mid-2022. kapiticoast.govt.nz/paekakariki-seawall
Stormwater network: We continue to upgrade our stormwater network to reduce risk of flooding to homes and businesses. Major projects are progressing across the District with contracts ongoing, this includes stormwater upgrades at: Ōtaki Beach (stage 2), Sunshine Avenue, Awanui Drive, Tikotu Stream works, Riwai (stage 2), and more. kapiticoast.govt.nz/stormwater
Water network upgrades: As well as the urgent work underway on the Hautere water supply scheme, we’re undertaking a number of upgrades across the district to provide high-quality drinking water and ensure there is enough water to fight fires when needed. This includes the now completed Tasman Road 300mm trunk main upgrade, that has boosted the water supply to the Ōtaki central business district. kapiticoast.govt.nz/water-supply
