Future projects
The third stage of the Kāpiti Lights work, improvements at the SH1 entrance to Kāpiti Lights (linking to the transport hub), will be carried out at the same time Waka Kōtahi – NZ Transport Agency carry out work to turn SH1 into a local road.
Completed projects
Coastlands–Rimu Road
This includes two significant developments from Coastlands, one of which includes retail expansion adjacent to Rimu Road, as well as establishing Rimu Road as a main street featuring more retail and other businesses.
Kāpiti Lights
Stages one and two of our work to upgrade the Kāpiti Lights area has made it more pedestrian friendly, helping create a setting that supports new and existing shops to thrive, and integrating Kāpiti Lights into the new town centre.
Old State Highway 1
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has:
- built a roundabout at the end of Raumati Road
- installed new drainage and upgrading footpaths
- built new kerb and channel, footpath and driveway crossovers.
Related projects
SH1 will soon become a fit-for-purpose local road and responsibility for the road will transfer from the Waka Kotahi | NZ Transport Agency to the Council. This process is known as 'revocation'.
