A new raised pedestrian crossing will be installed on Goulstone Road, Whakatāne, to provide safer access for students and the community between Whakatāne High School and its sports fields.
Timing: From 1 until 13 July 2025. This has been scheduled to take place during the upcoming school holidays to minimise disruption to students and staff.
• A STOP/GO operation will be in place during working hours to manage traffic flow.
• The road will be fully open after hours and on weekends.
• Please allow extra time for travel and follow all signage and directions from traffic management staff.
This project is part of our ongoing commitment to improving pedestrian safety and supporting active transport options for students and the wider community.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we complete this important mahi.
*Update Thursday 10 July:
Goulstone Road will be closed from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM on Tuesday, 15 July while we complete the final asphalt work for the crossing. Detours will be in place.
Thank you for your patience during this final stage of the project. Once completed, the road will reopen.
