Tree removal on Rintoul Street

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

Kia ora koutou.

As part of the Newtown Community & Cultural Centre upgrade, we will be removing a Holm Oak tree which is located on the Rintoul Street side of the centre.

This will be removed on Tuesday 27 July by our contractor and there will be stop/go traffic management in place during the day.

The tree is causing damage to the building as well as the pavement and landscaping areas. It is a pedestrian hazard due to the uneven ground and the roots compromise utility services and the building structure.
The branches have also grown through the LV overhead power lines.

The wood from the tree will go to a local woodworker.
