Blue-Green Network Māngere Flood Improvement Upgrades

Following 2023’s severe weather events, Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters has been working to reduce the risk and impact of future extreme weather events and improve stormwater network resilience. They are proposing a physical works project to reduce flooding risk for homes near Harania Creek and Te Ararata Stream.

Te Ararata area - Healthy Waters are proposing to build a structure that stops large rubbish from blocking the creek under the Walmsley Road bridge. They also plan to upgrade the bridge to increase water flow underneath it. We also propose to make access to the pipe under Mahunga Drive easier for our maintenance crews so they can clean it out more often. This will enable Te Ararata Creek to flow more freely and lessen the likelihood of flooding in the future.

Construction is expected to start this summer and take approximately 18 months to complete. These works are part of Auckland Council’s Making Space for Water flood resilience programme, co-funded with the government to reduce flood risks by addressing critical flood-prone areas with sustainable stormwater solutions.

Harania area - Healthy Waters are proposing to replace the embankments at Tennessee Avenue and Blake Road with an open creek and pipe bridge. This will enable the waterways around Blake Road Reserve to flow more freely and lessen the likelihood of flooding in the future. We are also proposing to build a foot bridge over the creek at Tennessee Avenue and enhance the newly created creek area with landscaping and planting.
