Update on construction

October 2019

The delivery of Sections 2 and 4 of the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path are subject to funding approval by the funding partners Auckland Transport (AT) and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.


We anticipate that both AT and the Transport Agency boards will have made a decision before the end of the first quarter of 2020, and we will advise the community of the decision at this time.


In the meantime, we will still be working on the final design aspects, consenting and other statutory approvals for Section 2 of the path so that if funding is secured, construction can commence as soon as possible.


In parallel we are progressing Section 4, to get this section ready to apply for Resource Consents and get construction ready.


If funding is approved, it is expected that construction of Section 2 will progress in the first half of 2020, subject to finalisation of statutory approvals and procurement.
The initial timeframe for the four sections of the Glen Innes to Tamaki Shared Path project was 2015 – 2018.

As work on the project has progressed there have been significantly more design and construction challenges, and therefore higher costs, than anticipated when the project was initially scoped in 2015.

We appreciate that the community is eager to see the path completed. The NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport are working closely together to progress the remaining sections of the path.


Working with the community and people who will use the path is important to us, and we will continue to keep people informed.

Section 3: Orakei Basin Boardwalk

Section 3

Section 3 was fully completed in July 2019. This involved widening the existing boardwalk (while keeping it open for use) to 4.5 metres, installing new skid resistant surfacing and a new balustrade with handrail lighting. The lighting has extended the hours of use of the boardwalk. Please see our video about this recently completed section here.


We’d love to hear what you think of the boardwalk and how you are using it - contact us on GI2T@nzta.govt.nz or post a message on our Facebook page.
