Tī Rākau Park playground upgrade

We will be upgrading Tī Rākau Park playground and adding a new youth space to ensure it’s a fun and enjoyable area for children and teenagers.

We would like your help to choose the equipment and facilities, and would appreciate if you could spend five minutes responding to the survey using the link below.

On Pakūranga Road between William Roberts Road and Pakūranga Town Centre there will be two lanes heading towards Howick and three lanes heading towards Panmure.

Reusing good wood

Wooden stakes

Thousands of survey stakes are used on large infrastructure projects like the Eastern Busway. Recently, a team member suggested reusing fencing from deconstructed properties as survey stakes rather than buying new stakes.

After trialling a few workshop-made stakes, the survey team were happy with the result and a larger volume was produced and are being used on the construction site.
