Dear Tim 
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982 
Thank you for your email of 11 July 2021 requesting the following information under the 
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act): 
How has the authority allowed for bike off street or protected bike way provisions in the revocation 
project?  
If not how are they meeting the safety objectives set out by NZTA board directives? 
As part of the MacKays to Peka Peka revocation programme, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and 
the Kāpiti Coast District Council are working together to change the status of the main road that runs 
through Raumati, Paraparaumu and Waikanae, from a state highway to a local road. 
Before revocation, Waka Kotahi will carry out some works on the 13.5km section between Poplar 
Avenue and Peka Peka (i.e. old State Highway 1) to ensure the corridor: 
•
is more accessible for all transport modes,
•
remains a viable alternative route if the Kāpiti Expressway is closed,
•
connects communities and key regional areas/facilities where people live, work, and recreate
•
creates safer journeys through the local network.
To improve access for cyclists the work will include on-road cycle lanes , new lighting and signage 
along the corridor for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists. Further information, along with images of the 
proposed changes, are available on our website at: www.nzta.govt.nz/projects/wellington-northern-
corridor/sh1-wellington-northern-corridor-revocation/mackays-to-peka-peka-revocation/m2pp-
revocation-zones/ 
For less enthused and confident cyclists, the MacKays to Peka Peka Expressway includes a 16km 
shared cycleway and walkway, with bridleway sections, running alongside the Expressway.

If you would like to discuss this reply with the Waka Kotahi, please contact Dandan (Grace) Huang, 
Senior Project Manager, Infrastructure Delivery, by email to [email address]  
Yours sincerely
