We are currently doing some seabed investigations in Evans Bay – you might have seen the jack-up barge and rig stationed there.

It’s an important part of the investigation work for the proposed Cross Harbour Pipeline, which aims to provide Wellington with an alternative water supply.

Some of the work needs to be done at night and the crew are focused on minimising the level of noise. The barge has also had acoustic curtains fitted to reduce noise levels (not pictured), which have been tested and fit within the District Plan limits. We’ll continue to monitor noise levels.

We apologise for any inconvenience while we are doing these important investigations.

Learn more about the Cross Harbour Pipeline on our website.

The council have released an image of an artwork to be installed at Maclean Park and unveiled in early 2020.
They say the nearly 10m long sculpture "symbolises the journey of whales and other travellers through the Te Rau o te Rangi waters – the strait between Kapiti Island and the mainland. "
It will be made of pre-cast concrete and include "ambient lighting and sound effects to create an aural and visual experience".
