Dust nuisance will no longer be an issue for residents living along the west side of Devich Road after sealing works began on March 6. Improvements to the 1.1 kilometre gravel stretch from the one-way bridge to Lawrence Road include widening, strengthening and sealing, with the work expected to take six weeks. Mayor Craig Jepson, deputy Jonathan Larsen and councillors Mike Howard and Rachael Williams visited the site on the morning works started to meet with the Downer contracting crew, as well as a group of residents. The work is part of the Long-Term Plan with sealing also planned for Settlement Road from Kaiwaka-Mangawhai Road to Hakaru Hall and two under-engineered sections of Cames Road.
