You’re invited to the proposed Aotea Reservoir open day!
Porirua City Council and Wellington Water are proposing to build a new water supply reservoir in Aotea to:
• Help ensure Porirua’s water needs can be met in the case of a significant earthquake
• Reduce day-to-day water supply disruptions
• Provide for the future growth needs of the Porirua community.
The open days are your opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions and how to be involved in the application process.
We look forward to meeting you at Aotea College Library:
6pm – 9pm, Wednesday 11 April 2018
11am – 3pm, Saturday 14 April 2018
Parking is available on site. For disabled access, email us at poriruareservoirs@wellingtonwater.co.nz and we will ensure assistance is available.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
