It’s the end of another rewarding project. We are very pleased and proud to have completed the final phase of the Rawene Reserve Remediation Works project for Auckland Council, marking the conclusion of a larger Auckland Council project to repair the devastating 2017 Rawene Reserve landslip in Birkenhead.
Our work involved significant earthworks on a very steep and challenging site, constructing new stream channels, tying in stormwater connections, and building a maintenance access track, along with extensive landscaping and planting to restore the reserve. The new more resilient Rawene Reserve, with upgraded stormwater infrastructure and environmental enhancements, will continue to serve the surrounding Birkenhead community for many years to come.
Projects like these are only possible through strong collaboration. A big thank you to Tonkin + Taylor, Auckland Council's Closed Landfill Team, the Birkenhead Village Business Association, surrounding residents, and the wider Birkenhead and Northcote Community (NZ) for your support and partnership throughout the project. Special recognition however needs to go to our site staff and trusted network of subcontractors whose skills, effort and commitment made the project a great success – a huge thank you to all of you! You won’t need to climb that hill again 😊
