Welcome to our January newsletter
Woolston Village upgrade to start in April
Kia ora and welcome to the first e-newsletter for the Woolston Village Upgrade. You've received this newsletter as you've indicated you'd like to receive updates on the project. If you no longer wish to receive these updates, you can unsubscribe at any time.
We’re upgrading Woolston Village and part of Ferry Road. This will make the village a safer and more attractive place to walk, bike and drive. We’re also renewing the 100-year-old underground wastewater pipes at the same time as the road upgrade, so we won't have to dig up the street to do this work at a later date.
Appointing a contractor
We're currently seeking proposals from construction contractors to lead the Woolston Village works. Applications opened in December and will close in early February.
We'll announce the successful contractor once this stage is complete.
Meet the contractor sessions
Once we award a lead contractor, we’ll hold 'Meet the Contractor' sessions to introduce the project team to the local community.
We expect these sessions to be held in March. We’ll be in touch with details closer to the time.
Stay up to date with news and updates
We've set up a webpage with information about the upgrade and will be sending out regular newsletters as the project progresses. If you know anyone who would like to receive these newsletters, please ask them to sign up here, or email WoolstonVillage@ccc.govt.nz.
Thanks for your patience while we upgrade Woolston Village.
Key features of the upgrade
A place to park
There will be 55 on-street car park spaces on this section of Ferry Road plus time-restricted parking to allow for higher turnover.
A place for walking
Wider footpaths and improved crossing facilities in the village, including signal controlled crossings & upgraded street lighting.
Lower speed limits
The speed limit will be lowered to 30km/h on Ferry Road between Portman Street and St Anne’s School.
