Construction Update
Construction will begin on 6 July and is expected to be completed by 21 September 2026. Work will take place during the day, Monday to Friday.
We know the community has been waiting for these improvements for some time, and we really appreciate your patience. We ask for your continued understanding while we carry out these works.
We'll keep this webpage updated if there are any changes.

Where | Koraha Road, between Oraha Road and Riverhead Road, in Kumeū (see work location map here) |
When | Between 6 July and 21 September 2026, Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm |
What we’re doing | Install a footpath that will extend from Oraha Road to Weza Lane Install a new crossing island along Oraha Road. Paint broken yellow lines at the corner of Oraha and Koraha Road, Weza Lane and Koraha Road. Build new drainage along Koraha Road. Install road markings and pram crossings at the corner of Weza Lane and Koraha Road. Reconstruct and construct new driveways impacted by the new footpath. Remove trees to make way for the footpath. Trees will be replaced shortly afterwards. - Some streetlighting is to be installed with future provisions (i.e. ducting) for additional streetlights.
|
How it may impact you | Works will create noise and vibration; we'll do our best to keep noise levels down. |
How travel is affected | Traffic on Koraha Road will be managed with a Stop/Go sign system, please follow all signs. We expect a traffic delay of 5 minutes as a result of this work.
Traffic controllers will be on site to assist around the work site. Please follow all signs, light signals and traffic directions. |

Project update (as of April 2026)
Construction is now scheduled to start in June 2026 and is expected to be completed by August 2026. We recognise the community has been waiting for some time and we thank everyone for their continued patience as we deliver this project.
(as of 27 February 2026)
Construction for this project is now scheduled to begin in April 2026, with works expected to be completed by the end of June 2026.
The project is currently in the tendering phase. We appreciate your patience during this time, as some design refinements were required to ensure the best outcome.
Residents and local businesses will be notified closer to the start of construction, with more detailed information about timing and impacts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project Update (as of December 2025)
We want to inform the Koraha Road community that this project is still proceeding.
Construction has been moved to February 2026. This is because we needed more time to refine our design plans and make sure high-quality standards are prioritised.
Project Update (as of February 2025)
We initially informed the community that we will be installing the footpath in July 2024.
But due to budget constraints, construction has now been moved till after July 2025.
This gives us the opportunity to refine our design plans to make sure high-quality standard is prioritised while trying to meet the community's needs.

About the project
We are making it safer and easier for people to get around by installing footpaths along Koraha Road in Kumeū.
This project is an important part of the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted Rate Programme.
The changes we're making
- Install a footpath that will extend from Oraha Road to Weza Lane
- Install a new crossing island along Oraha Road that will allow people to safely wait for a gap in traffic (while giving way to motorists) to finish crossing the road.
- Paint no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) at the corner of Oraha and Koraha Road, Weza Lane and Koraha Road to provide visibility at the intersection and clear access by preventing vehicles from parking near the entry and exit points of the intersection
- Remove a total of 28 trees to make way for the footpath and will soon replace them through Auckland Council
- Build new drainage at small portions along Koraha Road
- Install Give Way road marking and pram crossings at the corner of Weza Lane and Koraha Road
- Reconstruct and construct new driveways impacted by the new footpath
- Install new streetlights to light up the new footpath
Benefits to your community
- Footpaths make it safer for the community by separating motorists and traffic from people on foot and completes missing footpath links
- More footpaths offer better connections to schools, parks, public transport and other local amenities.
- Pram crossings make it safer and more convenient for people pushing prams or strollers to cross roads. It has a small ramp at the curb level reducing the need to lift the pram which can be unsafe, especially when managing traffic. It helps ensure those with mobility needs can navigate crossings more easily.
- New road markings clarify right of way, improve safety by minimising risk of collisions, and ensures compliance with traffic regulations.
- Encouraging walking and cycling is good for the environment and good for your health. It helps reduce reliance on cars for local trips, decreasing traffic congestion and reducing our carbon emissions.
