Track repairs start on Gisborne’s Titirangi/Kaiti Hill

The repair sites 1 and 2 on Titirangi are marked in black on this graphic supplied by the district council.

The council is asking for patience from track users on Titirangi/Kaiti Hill as work begins on repairs.

Drop-outs on two sections of tracks are being fixed this week, followed by other work.

“The further work will improve safety and stormwater management,” Gisborne District Council said. “Temporary closures will be in place through to December while contractors complete the upgrades.

“Track users should please plan ahead and consider alternative routes.”

The site 1 upgrades from the lower carpark began on Tuesday and run through to about November 24.

Work on site 2 from Waikāhua and Rakaiatane will begin from November 5.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience. The team will do their best to have the tracks open for the summer holidays.”
