She explained her heritage in Maori, telling us that her roots were in England, Ireland, Scotland and Norway although she was born and bred in Porirua East and has a very strong connection to the community. Tania lives in Plimmerton with her film-maker and fireman husband, Tony, and their son, Theo. Her working background is immense and varied both in New Zealand and internationally with a theme of service and creating value, mainly within the public service. And she's experienced long travels too, as far afield as to a Film Festival in the Arctic Circle, the pyramids in Egypt and the west coast of America. What an asset Tania is to our Rotary family.

Detailed plans for a proposed $32 million adventure park in the hills west of Porirua are being put to the public as the company seeks permission to start building. The year-long construction on the park is aimed to start early next year so opening day could potentially be in early-2020.

Public submissions to Porirua City Council are open till October 31, and submissions to the Department of Conservation till October 19. The proposed Porirua Adventure Park will add to the number of existing mountain bike trails and feature a $12 million gondola, zip line, hiking trails, a surf pool, and a cafe at each of the base and top gondola stations. It is estimated to boost Porirua's GDP by $9.6m a year and create about 171 jobs in the Wellington area.
