This amazing new motorway provides a safer, stronger and more reliable route for people and freight in and out of Wellington. And because it’s engineered to the highest standards, it can cope with the weather, storms and earthquakes we get in this region.

It’s an incredible piece infrastructure, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.
A heads-up, if you’re heading south don’t forget that Paekākāriki is the last exit for 15km – that’s a long detour if you miss your exit!

"Hey, I'm Cruise and like my name suggests, I am a very chill dude who is happy to make friends with both humans and dogs. I am confident, curious and full of beans when I'm not by your side or enjoying some zzz's. I would make the ultimate exploring companion for the outdoorsy type and I am bound to keep you on your toes with activities all year round. Still being an eager young lad, I have been learning how to walk nicely on lead and how to stick close off lead for some excellent hiking adventures. I thrive with the company of other dogs and am wanting a canine brother or sister to go home to as I don't want to be left alone for the day. I'm not suitable for a home with young kids but I love to meet all sorts of people. Unfortunately I'm not able to go to a home with cats or small animals. I'd make a great family dog or a companion for a solo owner. I am a boy who loves to cuddle up against you and enjoys going on outdoor adventures with you and your existing dog."

Richard Norman is a long-standing and very active member of the Rotary Club of Wellington and chaired the editorial committee overseeing the Centenary History of Rotary in New Zealand.
He began by reviewing Rotary’s role in building social capital and as a prime mover in the New Zealand voluntary sector.
Richard Whatman is a career government advisor with previous postings in Labour and Housing. He took a break of seven years to work in consulting in Edinburgh. Now he is back, with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, tasked with finding out whether overseas examples of Community Wealth Building can be replicated here.
Why is it that some cities, towns, or communities seem to thrive, and yet others languish?
One of the answers lies in how effective local initiatives are: especially, how local needs can be met from local sources. In Preston, (NW England), 4000 jobs were created by ‘localising’ the supply of food and other things needed by the city. This had a positive knock-on effect on other parts of the local economy.
Community Wealth Building works, but requires the initiative and collaboration of many local actors, working alongside the government. They are already involved. In Porirua, things will be kick-started by hefty construction projects already underway, with local labour, supplies, and training being pushed along by Ngati Toa.
There are also opportunities in vegetable production, the digital economy, and transport.
The theme is ‘looking after ourselves, and regenerating the local community within a single generation.
We in Rotary will have a part to play (e.g. our new community garden) and we will follow the progress of the pilot project with keen interest.

There is a season (tern, tern, tern)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
We can thank Pete Seeger for the song and Louise Thomas for the picture, and description of a black fronted tern.
"Continuing on with the rare terns that have been randomly turning (terning) up on the Kāpiti Coast, this is a juvenile black-fronted tern/tarapirohe (Chlidonias albostriatus) - a bit of a standout among the white-fronted terns because of the orange legs (and smaller body). As he gets older his beak will turn orange too. In breeding plumage the cap goes black all the way to the bill. They are apparently reasonably common in the South Island and have often been recorded wintering around Wellington, but this is my first time spotting one. Plimmerton on Sunday. Bird #61 in 2022."
