Earthworks/Civil works for Stage 1 (18 lots) of the subdivision are progressing well.
Earthworks have almost finished, with the subdivision entrance being built over the next 3-4 weeks.
This will include the final section of the Muri Road upgrade.
Roading, services and landscaping will follow.
The developers aim to have the road open to the community for stage 1 viewing in July.
The Residents Assn received the following from the developers of the Muri Rd Development who are concerned about the safety of some of the younger members of the community.
The owners, Pukerua Holdings, advise that youths recently were seen riding bikes through the pine forests within the Muri Rd Development.
This was potentially a very dangerous situation as they were in close proximity to tree logging operations and heavy machinery.
It appears they have been entering the site via neighbouring properties.
The land being developed for residential housing remains a construction site, whilst tree harvesting and earthworks operations continue.
Strictly NO access is permitted to the general public during this time.
Please remain vigilant to ensure the safety of your fellow neighbours, children, and the public.

Porirua City Council invites any of us to provide feedback on options for the future of Spicer Landfill starting on Tuesday 24 February and closing on Wednesday 25 March.
Previously there have been discussions about extending the landfill. These plans are on hold as odour issues, location close to neighbours, environmental effects, geotechnical risk, and cultural impacts for Ngāti Toa Rangatira, mean new consents are unlikely to be granted.
Instead, we have identified four options for the future and would like to know what you think. As a very brief summary:
Each of the different options will affect how much you pay to dump rubbish, your rates bill (if you are a Porirua ratepayer), the environment, and who can dump rubbish at Spicer.
The attached table gives a summary of the options, but you can read more detail about these, and have your say, from Tuesday 24 February at poriruacity.govt.nz/landfill-options
The Pukerua Bay sign was severely damaged in August last year when it was struck by a car. The sign cannot be repaired and will be rebuilt. As an interim measure the site will be tidied up. Parts of the sign that can be removed will be taken and placed in safe storage until it is clear what will be done to restore the sign. So if someone has the PUKERUA portion of the sign in their safe storage please get in touch and it can be kept with the other pieces.
Investigations are underway on establishing the cost of replacing the sign and donations to fund this will be sought. If you are able to help with this, please make contact through pukeruabayresidents@gmail.com

One day, 12 local gardens. All featured in our fundraising 2026 calendar
Apart from the Community Garden & Food Forest and Rongā Māori all the gardens are private homes.
Our trail features a selection of gardens both big and small. There are historic homesteads with big gardens, sections of native bush, exotic plantings, small yards, chickens, areas growing food as well as cliff-side sections with wide coastal views.
Check the map (on the day) for more information about garden access and any restrictions or hazards.
Yes! there’ll be plants, flowers and our fabulous fundraising calendar for sale at the Community Garden. (All the gardens are featured in our calendar). There may be other treats you can buy from individual gardens and we can confirm that on the day.
Sorry, there’s no toilet access at the gardens – public toilets are available at the shops on SH59 and at the beach.
There is plenty of parking at Pukerua Bay Station, at the beach and Rawhiti Road and Sea Vista Drive.
We encourage people to walk through our village between gardens as some locations have very limited access ways – such as the Community Garden.
Check the map for some special parking for people with limited mobility.
Sorry, not pets allowed. Children are welcome if fully supervised at all times.
