The traffic management in place is intended to ensure the necessary works are done as quickly and safely as possible. We did investigate other options to avoid a one-way system on Seaview Road - but none were suitable or practical given the scope of works and electricity cables in the immediate area.
This current wastewater infrastructure which serves almost the entire Hutt Valley is vulnerable in the event of flooding or a large earthquake, and we just want to get on with renewing it, so the community is not subject to these risks and has a modern and resilient wastewater network.
The reality is we have two major arterial routes converging at the Seaview roundabout at peak times, and unfortunately, slow-moving traffic is unavoidable.
We now have additional signage in place along the route and will keep monitoring the traffic situation closely and make changes where we can.
Our crew is committed to completing the works quickly and safely and we’ll keep you informed as progress is made.
Since 1999, our residents and team members have raised more than $5.1 million for charities across New Zealand and Australia.

With universities starting up last week, so brings first-time flatters trying their hand at cooking for the first time. In 2020, 27% of a household’s weekly budget was spent on takeaways so it’s no wonder that cooking is becoming a bit of a lost art.

Alongside sewing and knitting, what other vital skills do you think are at risk of being lost?

"This is not the best photo of a variable oystercatcher - it's not even the best photo I took that day, but it is interesting. I noticed he/she was tagged - meet CT7. I snapped him/her in the Hutt Estuary on 12 January and sent a report off to the Banding Office as you do and got back a very interesting report about the bird.
He/she was banded on Bell Island, Waimea Inlet, Tasman on 28/05/2022 in his/her 2nd year. Sex is unknown. CT7 is a busy chap, since banding this bird has been re-sighted at Saxton Field, Stoke, Nelson on 28/06/2022 and 19/07/2022. This bird is part of a research study on the morphometrics, population trends, longevity and movements of variable oystercatchers in the Golden/Tasman Bays region.
So, if you see CT7 don't forget to report him/her to the banding office.
Variable oystercatcher/ tōrea (Haematopus unicolor). Bird #14 in 2023.

On behalf of Hutt City Council, we’re duplicating a section of old wastewater pipe (its 60 years old) from the Barber Grove Pumpstation down Randwick Road and Seaview Road - finishing at the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant.

From 10pm next Sunday (5 March) for up to four weeks, Seaview Road, between the Randwick Road roundabout and the Parkside Road roundabout will be closed to northbound traffic (Petone bound).
As a result, a signposted detour will be in place via Barnes Street.
Business access on Seaview Road will be available and maintained throughout the closure. Southbound traffic travelling towards Eastbourne remains on Seaview Road.
We acknowledge these works will be an inconvenience to commuters, local residents, and businesses, please be patient, and plan for delays.
Works are generally between 7am – 5:30pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturday work as required - this is dependent on weather and onsite construction conditions.
