About 1,300 plants are now in the ground. Euon passed on the good wishes of the Mayor who was unfortunately unable to come.
Barry McEwen asked for volunteers to come along again this Saturday, 17 October when he hopes that about 1,000 more will be planted. These will be Flax, Carrex and toi toi, none of which need to be protected so the work will be quicker.

The Porirua City Council is paying back $2.6 million in wage subsidies.
Chief executive Wendy Walker previously said the council applied for the subsidy based on revenue for the month of April, which showed a 44 per cent decline compared to April 2019.
The council did not include rates revenue in its application, as that was recognised as a statutory annual charge under accounting principles. Rates revenue was recorded in full in July each year.
A review, however, found that it did not meet the criteria of having a 30 per cent revenue drop due to Covid-19.

Naomi Shaw is the sort of person that every sporting club loves. Shaw has played, administered and coached Saints Softball Club in the Hutt Valley for more than 55 years.
She played for the New Zealand women's White Sox softball team and is the only female captain to win a World Championship medal (1982).
An assistant coach at three world championships and head coach at a further three, she helped the White Sox achieve a world ranking of eight.
Shaw is perhaps best known as a stalwart of Hutt Valley and community sport. She has coached the Junior White Sox team and led the Hutt Valley Women's National League team to five successive titles and the Hutt Valley U19 and U18 teams to three successive titles.
Prominent in the success of the Hutt Valley Sports Awards, she was inducted as a Legend in 2013.
The Shaw clan have continued her legacy with daughter, Kiri, and grand-daughter Denva, both playing for the White Sox.
Grandson Sage Shaw-Tait
is highly regarded in rugby, baseball, softball and sevens.

An all-women powerhouse cast and crew come together from across Aotearoa for the NZ premiere of West End smash-hit Di and Viv and Rose.

A sharp, relatable story about three women across three decades, growing together and drifting apart through the big events and little moments in life. Intelligently written with political retrospect, emotional dramatic shifts and plenty of antics – all set to an iconic 80’s soundtrack.

A gorgeous and affecting mix of nostalgia with gut-punching honesty.

“Crackling with wisdom and wit, Di and Viv and Rose is a humorous and thoughtful exploration of friendship's impact on life and life's impact on friendship.” – London Theatre 1
