Tauranga’s main arterial route, Cameron Road, was upgraded and future‑proofed from Harington Street in the city centre to Seventeenth Avenue beside Tauranga Hospital. The project improved safety and streetscape quality while providing more transport choices, enabling people to walk, cycle, scooter, catch a bus or drive with greater confidence. The project was almost entirely Government‑funded through the Crown Infrastructure Partners’ Shovel Ready initiative, supporting local economic recovery following COVID‑19.
Vitruvius provided programme and project management services to Tauranga City Council. With a strong understanding of Council processes, objectives and operating environment, our team brought a proven track record of delivering complex, multidisciplinary projects within tight timeframes.
Throughout the project, Vitruvius delivered robust risk management and quality assurance, applied specialist infrastructure delivery and risk mitigation expertise, and identified and managed key project milestones and deliverables. We also fostered a highly collaborative working environment with contractors and fellow consultants.
Vitruvius was responsible for managing the detailed design and Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) process, as well as overseeing the public communication and engagement strategy.
