Following last year’s severe weather events, Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters has been working to improve stormwater network resilience by renewing the existing network. We have been coordinating with the Tāmaki Makaurau Recovery Office to investigate stormwater management in two key areas of Muriwai that were impacted: Motutara Road and Domain Crescent.
Change in scope of the project
The original scope of the project had two elements:
-
An embankment (bund) on Domain Crescent
-
Renewing open roadside drains to increase the stormwater capacity on Motutara Road and Domain Crescent and installing sediment traps to reduce blockages and improve maintenance.
Further investigations found that the Domain Crescent embankment needed to be bigger than originally planned, resulting in increased costs. This has led to a change in scope for this element of the project. Affected residents have been contacted by our Recovery Office staff.
Stormwater renewals will go ahead
The proposed stormwater renewals on Domain Crescent and Motutara Road will still happen. The project is now in the design stage. Construction is expected to begin in 2025.
Muriwai community update
We’d like to hear your knowledge about the existing stormwater network and to discuss the proposed stormwater renewals. The Healthy Waters project team including our designers will be available to hear your feedback and respond to your questions.
