Gisborne District Council Emergency Centre – Silver Award Winner 2025

Currie Construction is proud to have delivered the Gisborne District Council Emergency Centre, recognised with a Silver Award at the 2025 New Zealand Commercial Project Awards. Designed to remain operational during natural disasters, the centre is a vital community asset and we were honoured to deliver it from start to finish.

Our team constructed the building to exacting standards before completing the full civil works package, including earthworks, drainage, kerbing, concrete, surfacing, and line marking. Despite challenging weather and flooding during construction, the project was completed safely, on time, and within budget.

Delivered in partnership with Architects 44, Baty’s Plumbing & Drainage, Eastland Asphalt, and Inline, the Emergency Centre stands as a testament to great teamwork, careful planning, and resilient construction ready to support Gisborne when it’s needed most.

Mahunga Stream Floodgate - Category 3 Winner 2024

In 2021, Currie Construction was awarded the prestigious Mahunga Stream Floodgate Construction contract, marking a pivotal moment for the community. For years, the region had endured relentless flooding, with homes and properties frequently caught in the path of destruction. This contract was not just another project—it was a beacon of hope for many who had long suffered from the damaging effects of uncontrolled floodwaters.

The floodgate construction was part of a larger, ambitious 10-year programme that had begun in 2019. The initiative, spearheaded by the Waipaoa River Flood Control Scheme, aimed to significantly bolster flood protection in the region. Designed to handle events with up to a 100-year return period, the project promised to safeguard the community for generations to come.

Residents eagerly watched as Currie Construction got to work, understanding the immense impact this project would have. For them, this was more than just a technical achievement—it was the key to protecting their homes, their families, and their future. With each passing day, the dream of a safer, more secure community grew closer to reality.

A special thanks to Gisborne District Council & GHD for sharing the journey with us!
