Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project

The Team from Wellington Water

We are moving into the tenth week of the 24 week project to renew the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt.

On 7 May 2019, it is expected that the project will move back to installing the trunk sewer main, from Hall Grove to Bonnie Glen Crescent for the next three weeks.

This means that there will be a full closure to through traffic between the roundabout to Victoria Street of Gibbons Street with a detour via Pine Avenue from 7 May until 30 May 2019. Resident access into the area will be maintained.

All through traffic exiting off SH2 into Gibbons Street will continue to be diverted along the detour route to get back onto Gibbons Street (as pictured).

It is also expected that some properties in Gibbons Street will continue to be affected regarding property access. We will be in touch with those property owners well before this happens.

On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us to get our work done as quickly as possible.

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
