PCC has provided an update on the slip remedial works on the track to Brendan Beach
Monitoring and geo-technical work is ongoing at the slip below the Pukerua Bay lookout on SH59.
This project is being led by Wellington Transport Alliance (WTA), in partnership with the various land owners in that area, including Porirua City Council.
In February this year, technical experts from WTA installed a number of geo-technical survey pins across the slip site. These are being regularly monitored to assess for land movement and so far there has been no significant land movement.
Remote tilt sensors have also been recently installed to provide another source of data for the slip assessment.
This information will help guide the project’s next steps regarding what further slip assessments are required and how best to manage the land in the short and long term.
In the meantime, the pathway from the lookout car park to Brendan Beach will remain closed as it is not safe for the public to use.

We asking people NOT to go onto the farm from Tuesday 08 August until Tuesday 31 October. It is very important that mothers and lambs aren’t disturbed. Please pass this message on to anyone who needs to know.
Thanks to everyone for their help!!”

Waka Kotahi has advised there will be two sets of works being undertaken in the next few days.
Sunday night (6 August 2023), a road repair will be done on SH59 near the corner of Wairaka Road. This was notified to the neighbours for Thursday but weather has pushed it out to Sunday – also weather permitting.
Monday night (7 August 2023) the watermain service lid at the intersection of SH59 and Gray Street will be lifted and given a concrete surround to make it level with the road. Service lid lifting is something that a team travels the highway network doing some time after road repairs and resurfacing jobs have been done. It can’t be done at the time of the works because of the extreme heat of the asphalt when it is laid.

Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has advised that a small team will be in Pukerua Bay tomorrow Thursday night, weather permitting, to clear slips from the footpath in the area of SH 59 between Pukerua Beach Road and Wairaka Road.
This will be one of several minor slip-clearing jobs around the highway network that the team will be undertaking tomorrow night so Waka Kotahi cannot say what time the team will arrive. It should only take an hour or so.
