A new pathway is planned for Panmure to make it safer and easier for people on bikes and pedestrians to get between Maungarei (Mt Wellington) and the town centre.

The Maungarei connection project provides an opportunity to improve the visual and physical connection between the town centre and the Maunga and enhance the cultural identity of the area as part of the regeneration works.

 

The Maungarei Connection aims to create a safer route to Maungarei (Mount Wellington). It will also improve stormwater infrastructure along the route, with better drainage, and new garden beds.

 

The project has been developed in collaboration with Mana Whenua, Auckland Transport, Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board and the Tūpuna Maunga Authority.

Project Overview

The project will provide a safer and clearly visible route for pedestrians and those on bikes, linking to other established or planned walking and cycling routes. The project will also provide environmental improvements, including the protection of 30 existing trees and 30 new trees, to enhance local wildlife, biodiversity and mauri (life force), increase tree canopy cover, and beautify the route.

 

The pathway is the start of a walking and cycling link from Maungarei to Te Kōpua Kai a Hiku (Panmure Basin). This connection runs on Mountain Road from Monaco Place to the Quinlan Street roundabout.

 

A separate project will extend the pathway from Queens Road, where the Maungarei Walking and Cycling Connection will finish, through to the Panmure Basin.

 

Maungarei Walking and Cycling Connection is part of wider improvements Eke Panuku are working on for Panmure over the next ten years, in partnership with the community.

 

Timing

Construction is expected to begin in 2025 and take place over several months. Construction will be staged, and a traffic management plan will be implemented.

Once a contractor has been appointed, further information will be made available. We do not expect the roads to be closed during construction.

September 2023 - Concept design approved by AT and the Local Board

October 2023 – Stakeholder engagement with affected properties

July 2024 – Design finalised

March 2025 - Construction expected to start
