Footpath renewals contract awarded

14 Jun 2023, 3:08 PM

Waitomo District Council’s roading department have awarded a contract to Camex Civil for footpath renewals throughout the district.

Works will be undertaken in two separate sections with the first round starting this month, weather permitting.

The first section includes renewals or new footpaths on Lawrence Street, Ngarongo Street, Park Street, Te Kūiti Road, Eketone Street and George Street.

The estimated length of these sites is 1,261m.

The second section includes renewals or new footpaths on along Tui Street, Kea Street, School Road, Maniaiti Road, Rangi Street, Taharoa Road, South Street and Seddon Street.

Works will likely begin closer to the end of 2023. The estimated length is 1,407m.

In some cases entranceways may need to be closed off to allow the concrete to set.

We appreciate your understanding and co-operation for the duration of the project.
