Outcome of the engagement:

We have reviewed the feedback from the community and will be going ahead with the changes to Birkenhead Avenue and Hinemoa Street as proposed. The feedback we received was mixed, but most feedback during the engagement supported the proposed changes. We have modified the proposal for the P10 area on Mokoia Road and will leave half as P10 and change the remainder to P30.

• Outside 43-47 Birkenhead Avenue, Birkenhead

We received feedback both supporting the wider spaces and not supporting them. We received a request to make the time restriction shorter and requests to make them longer. We will go ahead with the proposed widening the spaces here.

• Outside 194-198 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead

We received feedback supporting the loading zone, a request to lengthen the time for loading, and requests for 3-hour parking or paid parking nearby. We will go ahead with the proposed loading zone here.

• Outside 22 Mokoia Road, Birkenhead

Some requested longer time restrictions like 2 or 3 hours or paid parking nearby, while some were happy with the proposed P60, others wanted to keep the P10, and others suggested P30. We will change the proposal to align with the feedback received and keep some spaces P10 and change the others to P30.

For those that need long stay parking we would recommend the Rawene Road car park.

About the Project:

We’re making changes to some parking spaces in Birkenhead Town Centre. These changes include wider parking spaces, changing existing P10 parks to P60 and installing a new P5 loading zone.

With support from Kaipātiki Local Board, we are focused on improving accessibility for locals to park nearby their local shops, with greater convenience and easier connections to the local town centre.

We are installing these changes between June to July 2026

• Wider angled parking spaces outside 43-47 Birkenhead Avenue, Birkenhead (full detail on our website & drawings). No on street car parks will be removed.
• Changing the existing P10 parks outside 22 Mokoia Road, Birkenhead to P60 8am-6pm, Monday to Sunday.
• Changing the existing parking outside 194-198 Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead to a P5 Loading Zone, 8am-6pm, Monday to Sunday.

A full design drawing is available on this page, titled "Birkenhead Town Centre changes" which shows the locations on a PDF map.

This project aims to improve parking availability for locals and businesses

We want to work with you to confirm these changes are best for the wider community, to make it easier and safer for locals. These changes would make it:

• Safer with wider, angled parks on Birkenhead Avenue, like the existing angled parks but wider so it’s easier to open your door or for couriers to drop things off quickly.
• Improved accessibility with extended times for on street car parks on Mokoia Road.
• Improved accessibility for couriers and people collecting things on Hinemoa Street, helping drivers, couriers and people on foot move easier.
• New road markings and signs will support these changes, ensuring locals parking availability for businesses and visits to Birkenhead Town Centre.

What happens next

We will be in touch with local residents before any work takes place.

Any updates or changes to the plan will be shared on our website.
