Days Bay Wharf Refurbishment Update (5-Apr)
Posted on behalf of Bruce Hodgins (Strategic Adviser Hutt City)
Good afternoon.
You may have been wondering about the start-up of the Days Bay Wharf project, which I had advised was going to commence at the beginning of this week. This is to let you know that the project start has been pushed back four weeks to the 29 April for two reasons.
The subcontractor who is to build the new walkway is not available until early May and this is the first main piece of work to be done once the site establishment has been completed.
We decided that there was no point in establishing on site and then have a hiatus period with virtually nothing happening.
The second reason is that for safety reasons and before the project starts, we are going to need to relocate the north-bound bus stop. This will be undertaken as part of the traffic management plan but needs a bit more time to be worked through and approved.
Thanks for your patience.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
