Aotea Lagoon project nears finish line
The end is in sight for the renewal of the former duck pond at Porirua’s Aotea Lagoon.
Work began in early 2022 and while there have been delays, the completion of the project is at hand as the final landscaping touches are put in.
Over 500m2 of sludge from the former pond was either removed from site or treated in geobags last winter. Quarry rock and clay soil from behind Porirua Park was transported in as fill.
Parks & City Services Manager Julian Emeny says the final result is something the city will be proud of.
“This has not been an easy project for a number of reasons, much of it due to the low-lying ground and average weather conditions contractors have had to deal with, and this area is going to add to one of Porirua’s favourite places,” he says.
