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.
