Project summary
What we're doing
We're planning some upgrades to a section of Peacockes Road to help bring it up to the standard of an urban road.
The upgrade is budgeted to cost $12.6 million. Peacocke is being built with the support of $290.4 million of the Government's Housing Infrastructure Fund, made up of a $180.3 million 10-year interest-free loan and $110.1 million of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency subsidies.
Construction timeframes will depend on the timing of the surrounding developments in the Peacocke area.
Why we're doing it
To support the development of Peacocke, and make sure local roading is safe and appropriate for a residential area.

Frequently asked questions

How will the upgraded road impro
We’ll be widening the road to allow traffic to move safely, and we’ll be building new footpaths, kerbs and channels, and adding street lighting to make it safer for all.
