We renewed two sections of water main along Goldie and Jackson Street in Wynyard to help ensure a more reliable water service for the local community.

The original water mains, installed in the late 1970s, had experienced an increasing number of failures in recent years and were no longer performing to our standards. Renewing the pipes has helped improve long-term reliability and reduced the risk of unplanned disruptions.

Works began on Monday, 8 September 2025 in Goldie Street, before moving onto Jackson Street from Monday, 29 September 2025, with works being completed in November 2025.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of the Wynyard community while these important upgrades were carried out.

We are committed to minimising disruptions to the community, but you may notice some temporary impacts, including:

• Minor traffic delays, with traffic management in place
• Temporary access restrictions to some properties and reduced on-street parking. Our crews will work closely with affected residents and businesses to minimise inconvenience
• Excavation along sections of the footpath and road reserve
• Increased vehicle movements and contractor activity in the area
• Construction-related noise and dust throughout the works
• Water supply interruptions during testing and customer connections. We will provide directly impacted customers with further notification ahead of time.
• Staging site will be located at the Railway Institute Hall. Please anticipate increased vehicle and crew activity in this area.

We’re also mindful of the Wynyard Tulip Festival on the weekend of 11–12 October 2025. The sites will be left tidy and, where possible, traffic management will be removed during the event.

We thank you for your patience as we deliver this important project.

The water main renewals will take place on Goldie Street between Church Street and Saunders Street, and Jackson Street between Park Street and Goldie Street.
