A section of The Parade will be temporarily closed from Monday 3 August while crews carry out work to rebuild the seawall.

The closure is expected to be in place for around three days, however ground conditions may extend this timeframe. A signed detour will be in place via Paneta Street, Wellington Road and Tangahoe Street. Residents within the closure area will still be able to access their properties. Pedestrian access will also remain available.

The Metlink bus stop near 116 The Parade will be temporarily relocated to north of Tangahoe Street during the works.
