Project outcome

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on this project. Public engagement took place from 15 January to 8 February 2026 with letters sent to members of community.

After reviewing all feedback received, we will be proceeding with the project as proposed. Please find the project summary attached on this website for more information.

Next steps

We expect construction to take place by mid-2026. We will contact residents and property owners in the affected work areas before construction begins.

Community Feedback
Thank you for helping us make better decisions for your neighbourhood, informed by your local knowledge.

People told us:

  • The improvements were welcomed as a positive safety upgrade, particularly for people walking to local destinations and the Māngere Lagoon Walkway.

  • The proposed pedestrian refuge islands and new footpaths were seen as an important improvement for the area, which currently has no pedestrian facilities at the roundabout.

People also shared concerns regarding the proposal, including:

  • A request to extend the broken yellow lines (no stopping at all times) further along Mountain Road to the intersection with Lili Chen Place, due to a vehicle occasionally parking in that area.

  • We responded that we checked the visibility for vehicles exiting Lili Chen Place against the required sight distance standards and confirmed the current proposal meets those requirements. We are therefore unable to justify extending the broken yellow lines at this stage.


About the project

We’re proposing upgrades to the roundabout to make it safer and easier for people to cross. Currently, the intersection has no dedicated pedestrian facilities, creating barriers for those walking, cycling or using mobility aids.

The new design will add safe crossing points, better connections to local walkways and homes, and features that improve visibility and traffic flow. It also includes mountable traffic islands to allow large and heavy trucks to manoeuvre safely.

To accommodate these safety improvements, 28 parking will need to be reprioritised.

What’s changing

  • Install new pedestrian refuge islands at all four legs of the roundabout, giving people a safe place to pause when crossing.
  • Install mountable traffic islands to allow large and heavy vehicles to manoeuvre safely on each leg.
  • New broken yellow lines (no stopping at all times) near crossings to maintain clear sightlines
  • New footpaths to link existing paths and improve pedestrian access
  • Reprioritise 28 parking spaces to accommodate these safety improvements.
  • Two trees to be removed on the southern berm to construct the new footpath.

How this upgrade will benefit the community

  • Safer crossings for people with prams, wheelchairs, or mobility aids.
  • Better connections to the Mangere Lagoon Walkway, local streets, and surrounding homes.
  • Improved traffic flow and visibility for all road users.
  • Improved turning manoeuvrability for heavy trucks.
