The footpath was damaged by heavy vehicles during the development of a Papatoetoe housing site.
WorkSafe says the circumstances are a reminder that workplaces have a responsibility for others interacting with a work site, as well as those completing work on it.
Simon Humphries says other people potentially at risk from work activities include volunteers, customers, passers-by, visitors, or workers from another entity.
