The ceremony included a traditional blessing by local iwi Taranaki Whānui and formal gifting of the name Omāroro to the project.
Wellington Mayor Justin Lester and Councillor Iona Pannett also attended. Mayor Lester shared a few words on the importance of this project for the future growth and demand as well as the resilience of Wellington City.
It was great to see members of the local community as well as representatives of Wellington City Council, Wellington Water, and contractors involved in the project make their way to the ceremony.

Diamond's who won the Kelly Cup last season, suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Victoria University in the second round of this season's competition. That result saw them drop into the Bowl competition and they qualified for Saturday's final with a comfortable 2-0 win over Petone.
Their opponents in the final were a team that has provided a challenge for the Diamonds in recent years, Palmerston North Marist and the most recent meeting was a pre season friendly where Marist ran out 3-0 winners.
The game got off to a late start as no referee turned up, a PN Marist supporter stepped in to take the whistle and did a good job. Marist's hopes of a repeat of the pre season result were quickly dashed when a brace from Jemma Robertson in the first 20 minutes put United 2-0 up. Robertson was unlucky to not get a hat trick as United created many chances but were unable to add to their total by half time.
United dominated possession in the second half and it was only the post, a couple of near misses and a great save from Welsh, the Marist keeper, that kept the scoreline down. Then with about 20 minutes to go, substitute Nat Olson, received a ball from the hard working midfielder Lucy Jones, and despite having two players around her managed to get a shot away from the edge of the penalty which found its way into the top corner. Shortly after another sub, Charlotte Wilford-Carroll, found the bottom corner and the game finished 4-0.

Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is core to what the Citizens Advice Bureau is about. We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take next steps and to resolve their problems.
A highlight of this year’s Awareness Week is the launch of the CAB’s new public website - www.cab.org.nz.... After a year of development and user testing, the resulting website provides an accessible, mobile-friendly, knowledgebase of 2,000 questions and answers about people’s rights that are based on real issues confronted by clients.
The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand.
The website also provides a directory of more than 30,000 community organisations so that the CAB can help connect people with any additional services they need.
We’re keen to break down any barriers people face in finding out what their rights are. Our new website is a fantastic resource for the whole community, and complements the amazing face-to-face and phone service provided by our skilled and dedicated volunteers.
We invite you to Discover Your Rights with us this Awareness Week by checking out our new website www.cab.org.nz..., calling us 0800 367 222, or by visiting your local CAB. We’re here to help.
