Petone Wharf off-limits for six weeks.
Petone Wharf has been closed to repair the damage cause by two recent earthquakes. Despite a large dip in its walkway, engineers had previously declared the wharf safe.
The Hutt City Council made the decision to close the wharf because repair work was a risk to public safety. It is thought the work will take up to six weeks, the wharf will remain closed during this time.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
