The Ō2NL Project is the northern most section of the Wellington Northern Corridor and is proposed to provide the final section being a 4-lane expressway as an extension connecting to the Peka Peka to Ōtaki expressway. 

The applications relate to the construction, operation, and maintenance of 24km of state highway and shared use path and associated infrastructure, between Taylors Road (to the north of Ōtaki) and State Highway 1 north of Levin.  The project is referred as the Ōtaki to North of Levin Highway Project (Ō2NL Project). 

The new highway will be a median separated carriage way with two lanes in each direction over the majority of the route. The project also includes a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as a number of new bridges, including one over the Manawatū River. To achieve this, a range of consents are required from MWRC and GWRC associated with both the construction and operational phases of the project. 

The consents and durations sought are summarised as follows:

Notice of Requirements:
 
Pursuant to section 168 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) has given notices to Horowhenua District Council (HDC) and Kapiti Coast District Council (KCDC) of a requirement for a designation for a project or public work. The purpose of the proposed designation (as described in the notices of requirement) is to construct, operate, maintain and improve a new state highway and shared use path and associated infrastructure, between Taylors Road (to the north of Ōtaki) and State Highway 1 north of Levin known as the Ōtaki to North of Levin Highway Project (“Ō2NL Project”). The Ō2NL Project is the northern most section of the Wellington Northern Corridor, connecting to the Peka Peka to Ōtaki expressway. Once the Ō2NL Project is completed, a minimum 4-lane expressway from central Wellington Central Business District to north of Levin will be provided. 

The Notice of Requirement to KCDC applies to an area of land within the Kāpiti Coast District of approximately 101.92 hectares located generally between the northern boundary of the Kāpiti Coast District immediately to the east of existing State Highway 1 (SH1) and the northern extent of the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway (PP2Ō) near Taylors Road on SH1. 

The Notice of Requirement to HDC applies to an area of land within the Horowhenua District of approximately 516.517 hectares located generally between Heatherlea East Road and the boundary of the Kāpiti Coast District to the east of existing State Highway 1 (SH1).

The Ō2NL Project is the northern most section of the Wellington Northern Corridor, and is proposed to provide the final section, being a 4-lane expressway, connecting to the Peka Peka to Ōtaki expressway which opened late December 2022. 

As lodged, the Notice of Requirement relate to the construction, operation, maintenance and improvement of 24km of state highway and shared use path and associated infrastructure, between Taylors Road (to the north of Ōtaki) and State Highway 1 north of Levin.  The project is referred as the Ōtaki to North of Levin Highway Project (Ō2NL Project)
 
The Ō2NL Project comprises the following key features: 
  • a grade separated diamond interchange at Tararua Road, providing access into Levin;
 
  • two dual lane roundabouts located where Ō2NL crosses the existing Arapaepae Road/State Highway 57 (SH57) and where it connects with the current SH1 at Heatherlea East Road, north of Levin;
 
  • four lane bridges over the Waiauti, Waikawa and Kuku Streams, the Ōhau River and the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT) rail line north of Levin;
 
  • a half interchange with southbound ramps near Taylors Road and the new PP2Ō expressway to provide access from the current SH1 for traffic heading south from Manakau or heading north from Wellington, as well as providing an alternate access to Ōtaki;
 
  • local road underpasses at South Manakau Road and Sorensons Road to retain local connections;
 
  • local road overpasses to provide continued local road connectivity at Manakau Heights Drive, North Manakau Road, Kuku East Road, Muhunoa East Road, Tararua Road (as part of the interchange), and Queen Street East;
 
  • new local roads at Kuku East Road and Manakau Heights Road to provide access to properties located to the east of the Ō2NL Project.
 
  • local road reconnections connecting:
    • McLeavey Road to Arapaepae South Road on the west side of the Ō2NL Project;
    • Arapaepae South Road, Kimberley Road and Tararua Road on the east side of the Ō2NL Project;
    • Waihou Road to McDonald Road to Arapaepae Road/SH57;
    • Koputaroa Road to Heatherlea East Road and providing access to the new northern roundabout;
  • the relocation, and improvement, of the Tararua Road and current SH1 intersection, including the introduction of traffic signals and a crossing of the North Island Main Trunk Line (NIMT);
 
  • road lighting at intersections on the new state highway, that is, where traffic can enter or exit the highway;
 
  • signs, including gantries, as required;
 
  • median and edge barriers that are typically wire rope safety barriers with alternative barrier types used in some locations, such as bridges;
 
  • stormwater treatment wetlands and ponds, stormwater swales, drains and sediment traps;
 
  • culverts to reconnect streams crossed by the Ō2NL Project and stream diversions to recreate and reconnect streams;
 
  • a separated (typically) three-metre-wide SUP, for walking and cycling along the entire length of the new highway that will link into shared path facilities that are part of the PP2Ō expressway;
 
  • spoil sites at various locations along the length of the Project; and
 
  • five sites for the supply of bulk fill/earth material located near Waikawa Stream, the Ōhau River and south of Heatherlea East Road.
 
The Ō2NL Project will become the new SH1 and will replace the existing SH1 and that part of the existing SH57 along Arapaepae Road. Once the Ō2NL Project has been constructed and opened, it is likely these existing sections of state highways (then bypassed by the Project) will function as local roads providing access for communities to various local amenities and uses in the district, including access to the new highway. These existing sections will also provide an alternative strategic route for resilience.
 
Improvement in the context of the designation relates to potential improvements that may be needed to be undertaken to enable the continued efficient, effective and safe operation of the land transport system. Such improvement activities may for example include new improved barriers, pavement, lane control or lighting technology.

A copy of the relevant form of the notice, Form 33 of the Resource Management (Forms, Fees and Procedure) Regulations 2003, will be available after close of submissions, on Horizons website. Any section 274 party notice will be due with the Court 15 working days after receipt of the reports of Council officers (s87F reports) on the applications.
