Waterfront Road Reserve

The Waterfront Road Reserve in Mangere Bridge is a construction site while the Manukau Harbour Crossing is being built. At the end of the project the Manukau Harbour Crossing Alliance (MHX) must restore the reserve and return it to Manukau City Council as a park.
MHX is now planning the reserve’s restoration, which will involve:

Clearing all construction materials, buildings and debris off the land
Re-establishing the seawall around the reserve
Removing our fences and gates
Some landscaping, to vary the contour of the reserve and to create some more sheltered areas suitable for picnics and barbecues
Re-planting the reserve as an open grassy park with some trees – mainly pohutukawa
Building a 3.5m wide shared cycleway and footpath from Coronation Road, under the bridge, to Mahunga Avenue
Providing vehicle access to the southern end of the Mangere Bridge, particularly for maintenance vehicles and the provision of car parking
