Progress on our bridge structures was very visible in July with the delivery of the first T beams for Bridge 3 – the bridge that will span the railway once the track has been repositioned. The heavy cranes used to place the beams also made for a spectacular sight. More details on this are provided below.

On Saturday 14 July, the PP2Ō team, along with our translation partners Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Rito, attended the 2018 Māori Television Matariki Awards where we were nominated as finalists for the Te Ururangi Award for Education category. While we didn’t win, it was an honour to be nominated alongside two other outstanding finalists, and be recognised for our innovation in bilingual signage. Thank you again to the anonymous community member who nominated us for the award.

If you need any further information please call us on 0800 PP2O INFO or email pp2o@nzta.govt.nz

Clifden Cottage relocation

Ōtaki College media studies students talk to heritage architect Ian Bowman about the temporary shifting of the historic Clifden Cottage to make room for expressway construction. It’s currently sitting at the end of Old Hautere Road where it will remain until construction works are complete. Then, it will be moved back to the area it came from.
