The Society is in continued discussion with Waka Kotahi NZTA regarding the Penlink road and bridge structure that will connect the motorway from just south of the BP garage on SH1 with Whangaparāoa peninsula. Construction is scheduled to start late this year.

The Society’s discussion centres around ensuring that the work be completed with as little impact on the Long Bay Okura Marine Reserve as possible. At present we are focused on making sure marine monitoring is done in the most accurate and robust way. Our discussions with Waka Kotahi are ongoing and we will keep you updated on our progress.
