Drainage works commence

May 2022

Eke Panuku are undertaking some drainage works on Avondale Central Reserve. This will involve our contractors installing a temporary fence around the Learn to Ride course from Mon 30 May. We’re improving the drainage within the grassed area around the course to better manage flooding events. The Learn to Ride hard surface will not be dug up or removed. The works will take one week (weather dependent). Given recent weather events, our contractors will be working this Saturday 18 June, 9am to 3pm. These works will enable JFC to maintain their schedule with an aim for completion by September 2022. Drainage works to the area next to the Learn to Ride are approx. 80% complete. Silt fencing will remain in place to control sediment and erosion until grass has regrown. Learn to ride will be open during this time. Drainage upgrade works within the carpark area are continuing and are aiming to be completed within 2 weeks (weather dependant). Given recent weather events, our contractors will be working this Saturday 2 July, 9am to 3pm. These works include drainage upgrade and pavement construction within the site and not on Racecourse Parade. This will enable JFC to maintain their schedule with an aim for completion by September 2022. Given recent weather events, our contractors will be working this Saturday 2 July, 9am to 3pm.
