Geotechnical
assessment of the ground beneath the site of the proposed Civic Administration
Building is about to get underway.
As
a result, the car park at the eastern end of Tūwharetoa Street (between Farmers
and Central Motor Group) will be fenced off from Sunday 15 March through to
Friday 20 March, so that drilling and earthworks can take place.
Project
manager Phil King said the assessment is needed before detailed design work on
the new building can begin.
“With
drilling and earthworks taking place, there will be no access to the area
during this time.
“However,
we have recently added 80 in-berm carparks on Tūwharetoa, Titiraupenga and
Roberts streets which can be used while this area is closed,” he said.
We
apologise for any inconvenience this may cause during this time.
