There has been disruption with traffic control and limited accessibility at times, but the community has coped really well with all of this and it’s certainly helped in us getting our work done in good time. The pipe laying is complete, but we will be returning to site in a few months for some minor road surfacing repairs.
We’ve tried our absolute best with this project but know that there will always be things that we can do better next time. If you’ve got any suggestions, please let us know what you think through our quick survey on our website.

Are we happier owning our own home or renting?
It turns out one answer does not fit all.

On Sunday morning (11 August), a 30-year old Poplar tree was found chopped down at the Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River entrance at Whakatikei in Upper Hutt. It was in perfect health, but obviously someone did not wish it well. Fortunately, no one was hurt when the tree fell across the road.
Felling trees (dead or alive) on river reserve is a prohibited activity, and also poses significant safety risks to other river users.
This person may have wrongly assumed the tree was dead as it had no leaves, therefore could be cut down for firewood. Poplars and willows are deciduous species with leaves present form spring to autumn.
We encourage communities to enjoy a wide range of pursuits at our rivers - while being mindful of others and respecting the environment.
