Our Hutt City Champion I HUTT CITY 2 APRIL 2013 Our Hutt City Andrew ‘Andy’ Leslie is a Champion former All Black captain and Number Eight, and in his own words “a staunch Petone man”. “I’ve lived in Petone all my life, 68 years,” says the Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. “Overall, Petone is just a brilliant place to live with brilliant people.” Andy’s involvement with the Petone Rugby Club started when he was a six-year-old attending Petone’s Wilford School. He played for the Petone Seniors and the Wellington team before being selected for the All Blacks – and notably being made captain before playing for our national side. “The biggest highlight was being named captain. Being selected as an All Black was brilliant but being named as captain was mind- blowing. I still pinch myself today.” Andy was captain during the controversial 1976 New Zealand Rugby Union tour of South Africa. More recently, he’s been giving back to future generations of All Blacks, by helping support more than 300 children playing in local junior grades. He remains active in the game despite retiring as a coach and administrator. He recently stood down as President of the New Zealand Rugby Union, and is now focussing on his role as trustee for the Hutt City Community Facilities Trust. Petone has a proud sporting history, which is evident in the Walk of Champions along Jackson St. Along with long-time Petone retailer Kevin Rayner, Andy helped lay the first of more than 200 plaques commemorating the New Zealand representatives or champions living in Petone. Andy features there himself, along with his father, Andy Leslie Senior. “We’ve had a lot of All Blacks, we’ve had ANDY LESLIE representative players, we’ve had some great characters as well.” www.huttcity.govt.nz OUR HUTT CITY VISION FOR GROWTH IN Hutt City The Urban Growth Strategy is Hutt City Council’s blueprint for the future growth of Hutt City, says Lower Hutt Mayor Ray Wallace.

  • Distribution of Geological Materials in Lower Hutt and Porirua, New Zealand a Component of a Ground Shaking Hazard Assessment
    332 DISTRIBUTION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS IN LOWER HUTT AND PORIRUA, NEW ZEALAND A COMPONENT OF A GROUND SHAKING HAZARD ASSESSMENT G. D. Dellow1 , S. A. L. Read 1 , J. G. Begg1 , R. J. Van Dissen1 , N. D. Perrin1 ABSTRACT Geological materials in the Lower Hutt, Eastbourne, Wainuiomata, and Porirua urban areas are mapped and described as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment of seismic ground shaking hazards. Emphasis is mainly on the flat-lying parts of these areas which are underlain by variable Quaternary-age sediments that overlie Permian-Mesowic age 'greywacke' bedrock. Within the Quaternary-age sediments, the two material types recognised on strength characteristics are: 1) Soft sediments, typically composed of normally consolidated, fine-grained materials (sand, silt and clay), with typical standard penetration values (SPT) of <20 blows/300 mm; and 2) Loose to compact coarser-grained materials (sand, gravel), with SPT values of > 20 blows/ 300 mm. The total thickness and nature of Quaternary-age sediments in the study areas is described, with particular emphasis on the thickness and geotechnical properties of near-surface sediments. Such sediments are considered likely to have a significant influence on the an1plification and attenuation of ground shaking intensity during earthquakes. In the Lower Hutt valley, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of -16 kni. Such soft sediments underlie much of Petone and the Lower Hutt urban and city centres, and have a maximum known thickness of 27 m near the western end of the Petone foreshore. In the Wainuiomata area, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of - 3 krn2, and attain a maximum thickness of 32 m.

  • Barber Grove, Moera, Lower Hutt 1
    Report 16.463 Date 20 September 2016 File CCAB-8-769 Committee Council Author Jozsef Bognar, Property Consultant Land Transfer – Barber Grove, Moera, Lower Hutt 1. Purpose To seek approval to accept the transfer of stopbank and stopbank buffer land located at 23R Barber Grove, Lower Hutt from Hutt City Council (HCC) for flood protection purposes. 2. Background In late 2011 Hutt City Council approached Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) with an offer to transfer a parcel of HCC owned land adjacent to Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River to GWRC for flood protection purposes. The land offered to GWRC contains part of Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River stopbank and buffer and has been maintained by GWRC for many years as part of GWRC’s wider flood protection land holdings and responsibilities in that area. As the predominant use of the land is for flood protection purposes, both Councils agreed in principle that it was logical for the transfer to be progressed. An underground HCC wastewater overflow pipe runs through the land and possibly other HCC services. In order to protect HCC’s interest in those services, it was agreed that the transfer of land would be subject to GWRC granting utility services easements to HCC for any existing utilities located within the land. A draft agreement between the parties was prepared in 2012 but HCC put the transaction on hold due to concerns regarding a potential requirement for the Barber Grove land in connection with a major sewer upgrade planned for the Moera/Seaview area. More recently, HCC has advised that the transfer has been cleared to proceed and the parties have now confirmed terms and conditions of the land transfer; subject to the final approval of both Councils.

  • NZS1170.5:2004 Site Subsoil Classification of Lower Hutt
    Proceedings of the Ninth Pacific Conference on Earthquake Engineering Building an Earthquake-Resilient Society 14-16 April, 2011, Auckland, New Zealand NZS1170.5:2004 Site Subsoil Classification of Lower Hutt D. Boon1, N.D. Perrin2, G.D. Dellow2, R. Van Dissen2 & B. Lukovic2 1British Geological Survey, Nottingham, England; 2GNS Science, Lower Hutt, New Zealand ABSTRACT: A 3D engineering geological model of the Quaternary sediments of the Lower Hutt sedimentary basin was constructed from topographic, geological, geophysical, and geotechnical data. The data include 846 borehole records. The three- dimensional geometry of seven basin units was identified based on variations in strength and lithology. Shear-wave velocities measured using a range of geophysical techniques were obtained and compared with the 3D model. Engineering geological boundaries in the 3D model corresponded well with observed changes in shear-wave velocity. This allowed a range of shear-wave velocities to be assigned to each geological unit. The 3D engineering geology model was then used to calculate a shear-wave velocity profile on a 25 m2 grid to produce a site-period model for Lower Hutt. This model is used to derive a site subsoil class map in accordance with the preferred methods described in NZS 1170.5:2004. The site subsoil class C/D boundary was determined using the 0.6s contour from the site-period model. The minimum and maximum shear-wave velocity values for each unit were used to determine the uncertainty in the location of the C/D boundary. Subsoil class E sites were determined using standard penetration test results and surface geology.
