The NEW carpark on Wood Street is now complete and ready for use!

Check out some of the progress shots below.

The back carpark will provide around 76 new formal parking spots and will be open for the community to use before work starts on the northern side of Wood Street from Molesworth Drive to Fagan Place (outside Four Square, the Allied Service Station, and the Community Op Shop), the carpark area between Brewed As and the old playground, and the old fire station site. This second stage will take approximately six weeks to complete.

Molesworth Drive

HEB are finishing off a crossing on Molesworth Drive, just north of Wood Street. Expect two days of stop/go traffic on Monday and Tuesday (23 and 24 June); otherwise, work is being managed with a shoulder closure.

At the old fire station site

Starting Monday 23 June, HEB will be working in the old fire station site and it will be closed. Access to the new back carpark and parking between the medical centre and the shops is possible via Fagan Place. Please do not park in front of the temporary fencing as this may block accessways for the construction team.

On Wood Street

HEB will use a combination of daytime work and night works to complete both stormwater drainage and new kerbing and footpaths on the northern side of Wood Street, from Molesworth Drive to Fagan Place (outside Four Square, Allied service station and Mangawhai community opshop). Daytime work between 7.00am and 5.00pm will kick off from next week and night works will start in mid-July. Wood Street will remain open, and it will still be possible to access these businesses, but things might look a little bit different for a while with temporary fencing and road cones in place. During construction a new pedestrian accessway – clearly signposted – will be created to access the shops. Please move slowly and carefully around the area when walking, cycling and driving. If you are unsure about access, just ask one of the HEB team members or phone ahead and ask the businesses before visiting.
