Te whakahou wai ua i Te Kūiti Te Atatū Te Atatū Peninsula stormwater upgrade

This project will reduce the risk of flooding and provide infrastructure necessary for future growth.

Last updated: March 2026

About the programme 

We will deliver the Te Atatū Peninsula stormwater upgrade programme in seven stages over the next 10 years as funding becomes available.

We will:

• extend the water network to connect to new and future housing
• increase stormwater capacity to reduce flooding risks
• allow properties that are not currently served by public stormwater to connect to it
• plant vegetation around stormwater outfalls An outfall is the point where water or waste exits a system, like a river merging with a larger body of water.  to improve the environment.

Stages of the programme  

Stages 1 to 5 of the programme are on hold. We will provide more information on these stages when we continue work on the designs. 

Stages 6 and 7 

We are preparing to submit resource consent for stages 6 and 7 of the programme.

About stages 6 and 7 

We will:

• build a new stormwater pipe for Taikata Road and the northern end of Yeovil Road
• upgrade the stormwater outfall at River Road
• build a new stormwater pipe for Peachgrove Road, Yeovil Road, Gloria Avenue and parts of Stokes Avenue
• build a new stormwater outfall at the end of Brigdens Avenue
• increase planting around the outfall points.

How the works might affect you 

During construction there will be:

• noise
• dust
• vibrations
• more trucks on the roads.

We will manage these to minimise disruption.

Some roads may be closed temporarily. We will manage traffic to keep it moving as smoothly as possible.

We may need to access private property, but we will contact you if this is necessary.

We will share more detailed information closer to the start of the works in mid-2027.
