Take the Survey

We are working to make it easier and safer for you to access the intersection of Church Street and Alfred Street in Onehunga.

What we are doing

We are working to make it easier and safer for you to access the intersection of Church Street and Alfred Street in Onehunga. The proposed roundabout will help slow vehicles and make it clearer and safer for people to move through the intersection, whether you are walking, cycling, driving, living nearby, working or visiting the area.

What we are proposing

We are proposing the following safety upgrades at the Church Street and Alfred Street intersection:

  • Install a new fully mountable roundabout with high friction surfacing and rubber speed cushions on all approaches to help slow traffic and support safer crossing and turning movements from Alfred Street.
  • Provide three new pram crossings: one pedestrian pram crossing on Church Street west, one pedestrian pram crossing on Alfred Street north and one pedestrian pram crossing on Alfred Street south.
  • Widen footpaths, realign kerbs and berms, and update road markings and signs to support the new layout.
  • Improve street lighting so the crossings and roundabout are easier to see, especially at night.
  • Install new broken yellow lines (No Stopping At All Times) to support the roundabout layout.

To improve safety and visibility at the intersection, broken yellow lines will be installed to clearly identify where vehicles must not stop or park.

Under the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, vehicles must not stop, stand or park within an intersection or within 6 metres of an intersection, unless parking is specifically authorised by signs or markings. This restriction applies even where broken yellow lines are not currently present; the new markings will make the restriction clearer and support parking compliance.

Overall, the changes will affect kerbside space equivalent to approximately 24 vehicles. However, our parking survey found that only 4 of these spaces are regularly used. The remaining areas are either not regularly used or include locations where parking is already prohibited due to their proximity to the intersection. You can find the parking survey results in the map below.

Therefore, the practical impact is expected to be the removal of approximately 4 regularly used roadside parking spaces. Parking will continue to be available outside the marked no-stopping areas.

This includes the following changes:

On Alfred Street:

  • Remove 3 parking spaces outside 51A Alfred Street and 186 Church Street on Alfred Street north approach.
  • Remove 1 parking space outside 48B Alfred Street on Alfred Street south approach.

You can view the proposed layout in the attached plans.

How this will benefit your neighbourhood

These improvements will help make the intersection safer and more predictable for everyone using the area. Key benefits include:

  • Better traffic flow and reduce delays on Alfred Street.
  • Safer and easier turning manoeuvres at the intersection.
  • A clearer, more visible road layout.
  • Improved visibility and lower speed environment, enhance safety for all road users.

Why we doing this

Improving safety

  • Fifteen crashes were reported between 2021 and 2025, including one serious-injury crash and nine minor-injury crashes.

Making the intersection safer for everyone

  • Our investigation identified 80% of these crashes involved vehicles crossing or turning, highlighting the existing crossing and turning risks.
  • Two crashes involved vulnerable road users (one cyclist and one motorcyclist).
  • The proposed improvements will reduce crash risk and make the area safer, more accessible and better connected.

What we want your feedback on

We want to hear your feedback on:

  • Your usage of Church Street and Alfred Street.
  • Access or safety concerns.
  • Anything we have missed about this design or your community.

When can you have your say

Community engagement is open for 3 weeks from 17 August 2026 to 7 September 2026.

How can you have your say

What happens next

We will consider all community feedback and present a recommendation and feedback report to Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board. Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board will provide feedback prior to a final decision being made.

All those who complete the survey will be notified when the consultation report is available.
