Te Atatū Peninsula stormwater upgrade

About the project

• extend the network for new and future housing development
• help to reduce the risk of flooding by increasing the network capacity
• give existing properties not currently served by public stormwater facilities the opportunity to connect to the main network.

The proposed design is part of a $30 million investment and includes three areas of the peninsula.

The project will focus on:

• the construction and upgrade of underground pipelines
• connecting to existing outfalls
• incorporating nature-based solutions, including increased planted areas for water soakage and filtration.

Area overview

Area one: north-east peninsula

A new stormwater pipe will be built around Clinton Avenue, Roby Street, Durham Street, London Street and Waipani Road. It will go out to sea through an existing coastal outfall near Waimanu Bay Reserve.

Area two: north-west peninsula

A new stormwater pipe network will be built along Kervil Avenue, connecting to the existing network at Glenford Lane and the existing outfall in the estuary west of Matipo Road.

Area three: south-west peninsula

New stormwater pipelines will be built to serve the area between Taikata Road in the north and Yeovil Road in the south. Pipes will discharge via existing outfalls near River Road and Bridgens Avenue.

Next steps

An application for resource consent is currently in progress.
