THE PROJECT
"A new 600-metre link road between Fitzherbert Avenue and Fox Road, named Pingao Drive, is being built to unlock land for housing, improve local transport connectivity and support environmental resilience as part of the wider Springvale Structure Plan. The project enables future urban growth while aligning with sustainable design principles.
The link road forms part of a wider integrated catchment management programme. This programme aligns with the values of Te Awa Tupua Act 2017, reflecting a commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.” (Whanganui City Council, 2026)
