Banks Peninsula roading updatesCouncil contractors have repaired a significant amount of damage to the roads in Banks Peninsula following significant rainfall on 15 and 16 December 2021. Work on the damaged roads of Banks Peninsula reached another major milestone last fortnight as residents regained access across the main road dropout at Goughs Road. Getting the road to this point has required a huge effort from residents, community delivery teams, geotechnical engineers, designers, planners, property specialists, and Fulton Hogan. Fulton Hogan's team of contractors helped our designers determine the best solution for the dropout. This milestone also signals a change in the pace of the repairs. From now on, our contractors will be repairing minor work and tidying up sections of the roading network. The majority of this work should not impact residents' ability to access their properties.
