Western Link - South
Notice of Requirement (NoR) 6

Project overview
The southern end of the Western Link is proposed as a new section of road running between Evelyn Street and the existing State Highway 1 and dedicated walking and cycling facilities will continue through this corridor.
This section will enable development in southwest Warkworth and along the corridor, providing access to future urban land and industrial areas. It will also provide an alternative north-south corridor to State Highway 1 which will help reduce the pressure on Woodcocks Road between Mansel Drive and State Highway 1.
The proposed work includes:
- The construction of a new urban arterial corridor with walking and cycling facilities between the intersection of State Highway 1 and McKinney Road and Evelyn Street.
- Tie-ins with existing roads and localised widening around the existing intersections to accommodate new intersection forms.
- New or upgraded, stormwater management systems, bridges and culverts (where applicable).
- Batter slopes, and associated cut and fill earthworks.
- Vegetation removal.
- Other construction related activities required outside the permanent corridor including the re-grade of driveways, construction traffic manoeuvring and construction laydown areas.

Project status and anticipated construction timeframes
This project is currently in the appeal period. Submitters had 15 working days in which they could appeal to the Environment Court, against the whole or any part of the decision from AT. Appeals are under Section 174 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
During this process AT works together with appellants to come to a resolution. If both parties can't resolve the appeal independently, the Environment Court can appoint a mediator to facilitate the conversation. If a resolution can't be reached through court assisted mediation, then an Environment Court hearing will take place, and the Environment Court will issue a decision on the outcome.
There is currently no funding for detailed design or construction of this project. We anticipate the project will be delivered sometime within the next 30 years in line with Auckland Council’s land release strategy.
