Hailes Road

A new wastewater network for Whenuapai and Red Hills.

Watercare’s current programme combines an interim pump station and rising mains with a break-pressure tank at Māmari Road, the Massey Connector and Northern Interceptor Phase 2 tunnels, and a Hobsonville Pump Station connection. It also includes decommissioning the Whenuapai Village Pump Station. The overall scheme includes about 3.8 km of wastewater tunnels.

The detailed timeline lists Package 1 from October 2027 to March 2030 and Package 2 from March 2027 to March 2030; Package 3 is complete. The same page’s headline duration still says late 2026–late 2027, so the schedule is not fully reconciled. Confirm staging directly with Watercare.

For this development, the relevance is regional servicing capacity. A project-specific connection, downstream capacity, timing and any required works must be agreed separately; regional investment does not allocate a connection to this site.

$300 million of regional wastewater investment.

Watercare’s September 2025 announcement described a $300 million programme supporting northwest growth, with capacity for an additional 13,000 homes after all stages. That is a regional capacity figure, not the lot yield of this project.

The announcement anticipated service in late 2028. The current project page now lists later package dates through March 2030, so this earlier forecast is retained as dated news rather than a current completion promise.

Westgate Te Waiarohia Station is open.

Westgate’s new bus station opened to passengers on 16 August 2026. Auckland Transport identifies WX1, 11T and 11W among its services, connecting the northwest with the city centre and the wider public transport network.

The station provides weather-protected waiting areas, real-time information, bike parking, walking and cycling connections and pick-up/drop-off facilities. It is a completed regional transport improvement; access from each property still depends on local routes and the actual walking, cycling or driving connection.

Northwest Busway and the planned Brigham Creek station.

NZTA reports that the Northwest Busway – Te Ara Hauāuru received its Fast-track statutory approvals in September 2026. The planned corridor follows SH16 between Brigham Creek and Auckland’s city centre, with a Brigham Creek Rarawaru station and park-and-ride and connections through Westgate.

NZTA also states that design development, programme planning, funding and property decisions remain before construction can start. Approval of the corridor is a significant planning milestone, but it is not an opening date or confirmation of construction funding.

Brigham Creek Road’s protected upgrade corridor.

Auckland Transport’s Designation 14105 protects an urban arterial upgrade with walking, cycling and public transport facilities. The concept includes junction changes at Totara, Kauri and Trig roads, with stormwater ponds, wetlands, culverts and associated road widening.

AT confirms the designation is operative but states that detailed design and construction currently have no funding. Corridor protection must therefore be considered in site planning and net developable area; it should not be presented as an imminent road upgrade. Final access and frontage requirements need engineering and transport review.

SH16: Brigham Creek toward Kumeū and Waimauku.

NZTA’s two-stage safety and capacity programme identifies the Huapai–Waimauku stage as complete. The Brigham Creek–Kumeū stage remains in design and property-acquisition engagement.

Proposals include four lanes between Brigham Creek and Taupaki roundabout, a roundabout at Coatesville Riverhead Highway and a shared walking/cycling path. This is wider corridor context; no completion date, guaranteed journey-time saving or direct access entitlement is assumed for this development.
