Beach clean-up

/ / Coastal, Working Bees

Our thanks again to Sustainable Coastlines and a group of staff from ANZ who got together today to give a bit of love to our beautiful stretch of coastline between Pukerua Bay and Hongoeka Bay. Together they managed to remove about 1000 litres (50 rubbish bags!) of litter from the coastline, including a 30 metre long piece of PVC pipe.

  • 50 rubbish bags of… rubbish
  • including whatever this is…

  • …and a 30 m long PVC pipe.

Survey: road safety measures on Rawhiti Road and Teihana Road

/ / Consultation, Road safety, School

Note: this survey is now closed. We will provide your feedback to Porirua City Council.

In 2016 the Residents’ Association was approached about concerns around children’s and pedestrians’ safety outside the school. Recently Porirua City Council presented us their plans to make Rawhiti Road and Teihana Road safer, as outlined here. They propose that the following safety measures be put in place:

  • Extend a footpath on Rawhiti Road for 220m from number 92 to the corner of Wairaka Road
  • Construct a pedestrian zebra crossing with refuge island on Teihana Road, outside number 10.
  • Proposed footpath on Rawhiti Road.
  • Proposed crossing on Teihana Road.

If you are a local resident, please fill out this short survey; your feedback is most appreciated.

(Survey now closed)
