Timeline

Discussions with community stakeholders

Completed
March 2021 to December 2021

We worked with Māngere East and Manukau partners, stakeholders, and community representatives to understand the barriers to cycling. We discussed how we can target our investment to address these.

We developed a proposed cycling network and set of supporting activities based on the priorities raised by our community partners.

Public engagement and consultation

Completed
March 2022 to mid-2022

We invited public engagement on the proposed cycling network for each area. This included development of concept cycle route designs, resulting in an 8-year programme of cycle improvements.

Seeking funding to deliver the work

Completed
Mid-2022 to late 2022

We finalised the business case and sought funding to deliver the cycling improvements.

Ongoing design and engagement

Completed
2023 to 2024

We completed further design work and community engagement in each area.

Construction and delivery

In progress
