Port Hills Update #12
16 February 2024
Residents will have controlled access to Worsleys Road up to 358 Worsleys Road from 3pm. The road will only be open to residents - this includes those on foot or cycling. Residents will need to come to the bottom of Worsleys Hill and have their ID to gain access to the road.
This means the majority of residents will be back in their homes tonight, with a small number around Summit Road still evacuated.
Residents are urged to exercise caution and be aware that firefighting activities will be continuing, with fire trucks frequently passing up and down the road. They should also be prepared to evacuate again at short notice, including having a bag ready to go with clothes, medication or anything else they may need, and a plan for pets and animals.
The fire has not grown in size since this morning.
Please avoid the Port Hills mountain bike and walking tracks this weekend as our crews will be working around these areas throughout Saturday and Sunday.
