We’ve made a decision on the Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor road stopping project

Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board decided to approve the staff recommendations with changes from consultation, on 10 March 2025.

You can read the meeting minutes below, which include the formal resolutions

You can also watch the decision being made below.

What happens next?

We expect the following road stopping to begin over the coming year:

• Brooker Avenue (between New Brighton Road and Istana Place)
• Stour Drive (between Vivian Street and Brooker Avenue)
• Tasman Place
• Kingsford Street (north of Broomfield Terrace)
• Landy Street (east of the parcel described as 122 McBratneys Rd) and Locksley Avenue Between Landy St
• #137 Chardale Street (north of the new driveway access to 123 Hulverstone Drive) and Hulverstone Drive from Chardale St to #123

Staff will also carry out two one-month trials, restricting access alternately north and south of Sutton Place. Once completed, a street meeting will be organised with Sutton Place residents to discuss the outcome of the trial. The results of these trials and the residents’ preferences will be reported back to the Board with a road stopping recommendation.
