Jonathan Place Wastewater Upgrades Project

Project Overview

The Jonathan Place Wastewater Upgrades Project in Sunnynook involves installing a larger pipeline, constructing three new manholes, and upgrading existing manhole at the end of the Jonathan Place cul-de-sac. Once complete, the project will help reduce wastewater overflows, support population growth in Sunnynook and nearby suburbs, and improve the reliability of the local infrastructure. These upgrades will create a stronger, more resilient wastewater network that will accommodate future demand and protect the local environment.

Construction is expected to be completed by early 2026.

How will these works impact you?

• Work hours: construction will take place from late September to January 2026, between 7am – 6pm, Monday to Friday. Occasional Saturday work may be required. We’ll notify you in advance of any changes.

• Noise: some noise is expected during construction, but it will be kept to a minimum and within the limits approved by Auckland Council.

• Driveway access: there may be temporary disruptions to vehicle access as we install the new pipeline. If access to your property is affected, we’ll notify you in advance so you can plan accordingly.

• Traffic impacts: you may notice temporary the following changes to traffic and road layouts on Jonathan Place, Tonkin Drive and nearby streets in Sunnynook:

o Stop/go traffic management

o Temporary traffic signals

o Reduced lane widths and speed limits

o Pedestrian detours and narrowed footpaths

o Road closure: The intersection of Tonkin Drive and Jonathan Place will be closed for approximately two weeks during the upcoming school holiday period (20 September – 5 October 2025). This timing is intended to minimise disruption for students, parents, and school staff. Resident access will be maintained, but detours will be in place as work progresses across the intersection.
