Elizabeth Street safety improvements on track

20 Jan 2026

You may have noticed the safety improvements on Elizabeth Street, Waikanae, began in early January. 

Crews started with excavation work on the southern side of Elizabeth Street in preparation for construction of the raised pedestrian island. The current work includes utility trenching to install new crossing light poles, and kerb and drainage upgrades to support a new disability parking space outside businesses. 

These improvements are designed to make crossing the road safer for people of all ages, and abilities, help slow traffic where needed, and maintain convenient access for local businesses. Thank you for your patience while this work continues.
