MANGERE THIS WINTER: WHAT'S TAKING SHAPE
We're transforming our community with warm, dry, modern homes, better streets and parks. As winter sets in, there's plenty of progress to share, from flood resilience projects reaching key milestones to new homes completing and construction ramping up ahead of the next stages in Mangere East.
KEEPING MĀNGERE SAFE FROM FLOODING
Flood resilience work is well under way in Mangere East and Te Ararata. The Harania Creek (Tennessee Culvert Upgrade) is on track, and the Walmsley Bridge upgrade was completed and reopened in June 2026.
Also underway:
-
The Archboyd pumpstation construction is under way and due for completion by the end of 2027.
-
A stormwater management plan for Mangere East Stages 2 and 3 is due for adoption by Auckland Council by the end of August.
-
A stormwater management plan for the southern part of the Te Ararata catchment is due to be approved by Auckland Council's Healthy Waters shortly.
NEW HOMES ON THE WAY
Construction of 19 new homes in Watchfield Close by New Zealand Housing Foundation is now complete, with additional market homes in Molesworth Place due to be finished in October 2026.
CORT and Gemscott are commencing construction on 30 new homes in Watchfield Close, having completed all site civil works.
