A big thank you to the public and landowners
On a project of this size support from the community is important. Landowners along the route have been helpful in providing us information specific to their accesses, and providing sites for storage and disposal of fill, parking and water.
As we continue with construction, we’re going to need more sites for fill, machinery parking and access to water. If you have a site that the contractor could use, please contact HEB’s Customer Engagement Manager, Kevin McGrath, on 0800 080 297 or kevin.mcgrath@heb.co.nz
Fill sites
Fill material from roadside widening does need to be disposed and our contractor is looking for sites close to the road. Please be aware when offering fill sites that Resource Consents and environmental care need to be considered.
Off road parking for construction machinery
At times, plant and machinery need somewhere to get off the road overnight, for safety and security reasons, so the contractor is looking for areas to park and store these temporarily.
Water
During the summer months there is the potential for construction activity to create dust. The contractor will need water for the water truck, used to suppress the dust. Bore water would be preferable to using town supply.
Landowner thank you
We have met with many landowners during the year to discuss property access and what’s going to be happening outside their home. Thank you for taking the time to visit us at our drop-in sessions. Landowner discussions will continue next year, however, if you have any questions about your property, please get in touch with Justin Rae, our Community Engagement Manager, on 021 390 732 or email justin.rae@nzta.govt.co.nz
During construction, some landowners have experienced more disruption than others. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
