Kerikeri’s mainstreet beautification project resumes this week (Sunday, April 6) with work around the intersection of Homestead and Kerikeri Roads.

The work adjoins the central part of the upgrade and continues the theme of stone walls, paving, planting, lighting and street furniture already familiar to Kerikeri residents. The same lead contractor, Stonecraft Construction, will be used to ensure continuity.

District facilities operations manager Sue Hodge says the $500,000 extension will take about 12 weeks to complete and every effort will be made to minimise disruption during the project.

"We have contacted affected businesses individually and are asking street users to take care around the construction area," she said. "The contractor has advised he can answer any questions or comments people may have about the project while it is in progress - it’s just a matter of talking to him when he’s on site."

Next year the council will complete the section between the intersection and the Butler Centre on both sides of the street. The Butler Centre itself is being landscaped by the developer who has agreed to extend the existing theme.
