What is revocation?

When the Peka Peka to Ōtaki expressway is open, the road between Te Kowhai Road at Peka Peka and Taylors Road north of Ōtaki will no longer function as a state highway. Its status will be officially cancelled (revoked) and that status will shift to the new expressway. The revocation project is to ensure the old SH1 is suitable for use as a local road that supports Kāpiti Coast District Council strategies, community outcomes, future land use and connections to the new expressway.  Waka Kotahi and KCDC are working in partnership to complete the revocation process. KCDC will then own the road and will be responsible for its operation and maintenance.
