Urgent Decision of the Howick Local Board to Formalise Feedback on the Manukau to Takanini Access and Safety Project

Resolution number HW/2023/106

MOVED by Chairperson D Light, seconded by Deputy Chairperson B Burns:

That the Howick Local Board:

a) note the urgent decision made on 2 June 2023 to formalise the Howick Local Board’s feedback on the Manukau to Takanini Access and Safety Project, as follows:

i) the Board would like to prioritise the following sections, if funding or costs change:

A) first Priority to B) Redoubt Rd/Murphys Rd intersection to address immediate traffic safety issues, noting the following points:

1) this is a dangerous location and a difficult intersection to negotiate.

2) both Redoubt Road and Murphys Road are busy commuter routes and continue to become more so due to massive residential development in the area.

3) with Eastern busway construction in Pakuranga, we must provide east to use alternative routes to motorway/southwest Auckland to divert traffic from what will be an excessively congested area over forthcoming months.

B) second priority to A) Manukau Station Rd and Redoubt Rd to improve public transport and active modes.

C) third priority to C) Mill Rd – Cosgrave Rd to improve reliability.

ii) the Board value the following design features the most across the project:

A) new Redoubt/Murphys intersection (now to be signalised but potential immediate tactical urbanism, bolt-on roundabout and speed humps for safety) to address immediate safety issues.

B) signalise Murphys/Murphys Park intersection to address immediate safety issues.

C) signalise Murphys/Thomas Park intersection to address immediate safety issues.

D) shared use path on the western side of Murphys Rd continuously between Redoubt and Flat Bush School roads to address immediate safety issues.

E) stormwater Upgrade (Murphys Road) to address stormwater overflow.

F) the realignment of Redoubt Road and Murphys Road to create a new signalized intersection. The current intersection is extremely dangerous and causes a lot of frustration and fear, particularly during Peak times. It is always a troublesome intersection and is long overdue for re-alignment.

G) a new roundabout at the intersection of Mill Road and Walters Road is welcomed in the interests of improving road safety. Walters Road is a very busy arterial.

H) improvements to the section of Redoubt Road from the Great South Road to Hollyford Drive are needed to ease serious congestion in this area.

iii) the Board value the following design features the least across the project:

A) signalise Redoubt/Hollyford intersection as this is already done.

B) shared use path on the eastern side Mill Rd between Airfield and Walters as there will be a complete path on the western side.

C) signalise Redoubt / Diorella due to potential impact on traffic flow along Redoubt Road.

D) new left turn slip lane on Great South Rd (Manukau Station Road) as slip lanes are potential safety issues.

E) Mill/Polo Prince intersection: restricted to Left-in/Left-out as this may create issues for local residents.

Local Board views on Private Plan Change 90 for 8 Sparky
Road, Ōtara

Resolution number HW/2023/113

MOVED by Chairperson D Light, seconded by Deputy Chairperson B Burns:

That the Howick Local Board:

a) tautoko / support the feedback provided by the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board under resolution OP/2023/51.

b) whakaae / acknowledge the need for more affordable housing.

c) Oppose Plan Change 90 based on the following concerns:

i) land was zoned for Business-Light Industry as part of the long-term plan for the area and has remained in high demand.

ii) the area being unsuitable for residential development due to noise and other industry related issues.

iii) decommissioning of the existing stormwater pond and details of the method of stormwater management.

iv) this area is already challenging for congestion and road safety and introducing more traffic – due to the proposed number of homes - would only exacerbate the issues.
