The Authority will be undertaking new track upgrades are taking place across Te Tātua a Riukuita / Big King starting approximately mid-October. The work will include upgrading and resurfacing existing walking tracks and installing new entry steps at Connolly Street and Duke Street pedestrian entrances.
Other work will involve replacing broken edge boarding, upgrading some park furniture and removing desire lines to preserve archaeological features. Native planting will occur in appropriate areas to enrich the natural environment. These improvements will not only enhance public access to the Maunga but also improve the overall manuhiri (visitor) experience.
Construction dates
Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-October and will take approximately 12-14 weeks to complete. Construction will occur Monday to Friday (and Saturday morning, where required) during work hours to limit disturbance to neighbours. Please note there could be delays due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
