Onewa Road, Birkenhead – Parking Improvements Onewa Road, Birkenhead – Parking Improvements
Project background
In June 2023, we made some changes to parking restrictions on Seaview Avenue & Onewa Road. The project looked at addressing pain points along Onewa road and resulted in parking removal outside 108 and 170 Onewa Road. We received concerns from the businesses on Onewa Road regarding lack of parking in the area for their customers. In response to this, the Kaipatiki Local Board have requested Auckland Transport to reinstate parking outside businesses while balancing the need for traffic to flow. For more information on the previous parking project, please visit Onewa Road, Birkenhead - Broken Yellow Lines.
Project details
We are planning to improve parking availability at the following locations:
Seaview Avenue and Onewa Road
- Install 2 parking spaces on Onewa Road outside 108 Onewa Road, Onewa. These spaces provide free parking and will have a 15-minute parking time restriction outside of T3 lane hours.
- Remove the existing parking sign and replace it with a P15 sign. The P15 sign will extend along 30 metres of Seaview Avenue. The P15 time restrictions will apply from Mon-Sun 8:00 am – 6:00 pm.
- Remove the existing parking sign and replace it with a P120 sign. The P120 sign will extend along 18.7 metres of Seaview Avenue. The P120 spaces will be installed behind the new P15 parking spaces. The P120 time restrictions will apply from Mon-Fri 8:00 am – 6:00 pm.

Wernham Place and Onewa Road
The Kaipātiki Local Board passed a resolution on Wednesday, 20 September 2023 opposing reinstating the parking outside 174 Onewa Road as it creates safety concerns for drivers at the Kauri Glen Road intersection. We will not install the parking space outside 174 Onewa Road. More details about this decision can be found in the Local Board Minutes Refer to item 21 on page 10.
The changes we will be proceeding with are:
- Remove existing sign and replace with a P15 sign with parking restrictions outside 1A/176, 1B/176 and 1C/176 Wernham Place. The P15 restrictions apply from Mon-Sun 8:00 am – 6:00 pm.
- Remove the loading zone road marking and sign outside 2 Wernham Place.

- We are planning to paint broken yellow lines (no stopping at all times) from the bus stop outside 203 Onewa Road up to the intersection at Aorangi Place.
