Work on the Rangiora St gateway to Castlecliff Beach will be the first physical sign of the suburb's rejuvenation.
Paving, planting and work to move power lines underground will begin on Rangiora St in November and should be completed by Christmas.
A meeting was held at Castlecliff School on Tuesday night to update the community on the Castlecliff Rejuvenation Project.
The project, led by Progress Castlecliff, has been in planning stages for nearly a year as public input has been sought over a series of meetings.
Progress Castlecliff's Jamie Waugh said the community's ideas were now coming to fruition.
