The road immediately outside the Davis Library and along the side of the nearby Alexander Library Te Rerenga Mai o Te Kāuru in Pukenamu Queen’s Park will be closed from Monday, 3 June 2024 for up to five months to allow for landscaping work as part of the Sarjeant Gallery redevelopment project.
To maintain personal safety, if parking nearby on Cameron Terrace or surrounding streets and walking to the Davis Library, please remain vigilant for vehicles in this area at all times during the work period.
Likewise, if making a drop-off at the Davis Library or generally driving in this area, please be aware of increased pedestrian movements near the Davis Library and consider reducing vehicle speeds.
