Improving Safety and Accessibility on Clark Road, Hobsonville

About the Project

We’re responding to requests to improve safety and make it easier for people to walk, cycle and get around Clark Road in Hobsonville.

As part of a joint initiative between the Upper Harbour Local Board’s Transport Capital Fund and our Walking Programme, we’ll be building a new shared walking and cycling path between Scott Road and Squadron Drive. This will also make it easier for people to get to Te Kori Scott Point Park. At the moment, there is no footpath and no parking on the eastern side of this part of Clark Road. We’ll also be finishing the upgrade to the zebra crossing near 98 Clark Road as part of a recent Local Board funded project.

These changes will create a safer, well-connected route for the community and improve access to nearby streets, parks and local facilities.

The changes we’re making in June 2026

• Install a continuous walking and cycling path along the southern side of Clark Road, connecting Scott Road and Squadron Drive.
• Install 33 off-road parking bays with P180 parking time restrictions beside the new shared path. These restrictions will apply from Monday to Sunday, 8am to 6pm.
• Provide low-level planting, which removes 5 off-road parking spaces in the following areas:
  • Outside 84 Clark Road
  • Outside 112 Clark Road
  • Between 39 Clark Road and Eyton Kay Road
• Install pram crossings to help pedestrians cross Clark Road and navigate to David Carniege Road, Sidney Wallingford Way and Eyton Kay.
• Remove existing pram crossings in the following areas:
  • Outside 96 Clark Road (north of David Carnegie Road) as it is unsafe and leads to a driveway
  • Outside 122 Clark Road (north of Eyton Kay Road) to provide parking outside Te Kori Scott Point Park
• Install tactile pavers (yellow guidance markers) at these crossings to assist the visually impaired
• Tree trimming above the new shared path outside Hobsonville Church and Cemetery.
• Install new stormwater drains along Clark Road to improve storm water management.
