Turangi Street Revitalisation Project
Project updates
SEPTEMBER 6, 2021: Turangi replanting programme gets underway
With spring here, and under the move to Level 3, our contractor is set to start replacing trees removed in the Turangi Street Revitalisation Project.
The $6.5 million project, funded by the government under the Crown Infrastructure Programme, aims to improve streetscapes by repairing footpaths, kerbing and channelling that were damaged by tree roots or age- close to one hundred trees were removed as part of the first package of work approved by the Turangi Tongariro Community Board.
With new kerbing and channelling now completed in several streets, Board Chair Clint Green said it is now time to start replacing those trees that were removed.
“The new kerbing and channelling looks fantastic,” he said, “and the finishing touch will be to replant those trees that had to be removed so that we could put in the new kerbs.
