Newmarket Park remediation
Introduction | Project documents
and plans | Open day
Introduction
Auckland City Council is proposing works at Newmarket Park, Parnell. Newmarket Park is a closed landfill with a southern slope that is prone to
slips. These factors mean it currently presents a risk to public
health and safety.
To address these factors works are planned for the area. This will involve removing
the existing vegetation, excavating then rebuilding the slope, then revegetating
with native plants and trees.
These works are planned to take place over two earthworks seasons:
- October 2009 to April 2010 and
- October 2010 to April 2011.
As part of the works other areas of the park will be used for construction purposes.
