Petone's historic Oddfellows Hall had no legal protection when it was bowled over by a developer late last year. Do you think the council needs to do more to recognise and protect the Hutt's old buildings?

Drilling is expected to continue for up to 30 days, weather dependent, at a new location near Somes Island.
We’ve chosen this site based on data from the first bore site which indicated that whilst the Waiwhetu aquifer has treatable quantities of freshwater in a viable yield, there is potential for better results at a second site.
This site also allows us to triangulate results using data on water from the land-based bore on Somes, which also draws on the Waiwhetu aquifer.
The barge and drilling rig has had modifications to the leg bases to ensure stability in the softer sea bed conditions.
