Project overview

Fred Taylor Drive will be widened to accommodate walking, cycling and public transport, providing transport choices to the growing community. 

The nature of the proposed works includes: 

  • The upgrade of the existing corridor to a frequent transit network arterial with separated active mode facilities.  

  • The upgrade of the intersections with Northside Drive, Kakano Road and to signalised intersections and with Hailes Road (and future Spedding Road) to a roundabout.  

  • Additional land for tie-ins with side streets and stormwater pond.  

  • Batter slopes to enable widening of the corridor, and associated cut and fill activities. 

  • Vegetation removal along the existing road corridor.  

  • 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 15 years in line with Auckland Council’s land release strategy.
