Update - 22 June 2026

Seacliffe Ave road rebuild has been rescheduled to the July School Holidays.

The works are planned to be undertaken between 7am Monday 6 July through to early Monday 13 July, weather permitting.

We expect to continue working over the Matariki long weekend.

Update - 15 June 2026

We have postponed Phase 2 of Seacliffe Ave Road Rebuild, which was scheduled to commence Monday 15 June.

The work has been deferred until the July School Holidays. Work will continue onsite to lower the gas mains along Seacliffe Ave, and to reinstate the trenches across the road.

We will share updates as soon as start dates are confirmed for July 2026.

Phase 2: Rebuild

We’re completing work to rebuild a section of Seacliffe Ave, between Winscombe Street and Montgomery Ave (Phase 2), as part of our regular road renewals programme.

Our work has been carried out in two phases. Phase 2 is the second and last phase, which requires full lane closures. Work will take place in June following completion of Phase 1.

Once completed this will make the road stronger, safer, and better prepared for bad weather.

Why two phases?

  • Phase 1: Preparation: Completed in June 2026
  • Phase 2: Rebuild: Full rebuild and resurfacing for a stronger road

This final phase will take place with a 24/7 lane closure on Seacliffe Ave to deliver these improvements as quickly as possible. One lane will remain for residents only while the works occur, providing restricted vehicle access. Phase 2 includes asphalt resurfacing and will be carried out once the rebuild has been completed.

Benefits to the Community

  • Safer journeys for everyone
    • A smoother, more reliable road means fewer potholes and safer conditions for all road users – including drivers, cyclists, bus passengers, and people walking.
  • Better stormwater drainage
    • Upgraded drainage systems will help reduce surface flooding during heavy rain, protecting nearby homes, properties, and the road itself.
  • Longer-lasting road
    • By laying a strong concrete foundation beneath the surface, we’re building a road that’s expected to last for the next 20+ years with fewer repairs needed.
