  • Greater Wellington Regional Council Collects Water from Rivers and An
    Greater Wellington Regional Council collects water from rivers and an aquifer, treats it to meet New Zealand’s drinking water standards and distributes this high-quality water to four city councils – Hutt, Porirua, Upper Hutt and Wellington – for their supply to consumers. Where does your water come from? How does the water get to your place? Our Te Marua Water Treatment Plant treats water from the The Regional Council operates 183km of pipes, which Hutt River, either directly or via two storage lakes near the connect its water sources and treatment plants to 43 city plant. The lakes hold 3,400 million litres, and are used to reservoirs. These pipes are up to 1,100mm in diameter. make up for any shortage of water from rivers, or after heavy Two main pipelines link the Te Marua and Wainuiomata rain when river water is too dirty to treat effectively. treatment plants to Wellington (see overleaf), with a connecting pipeline and pumping station at Ngauranga Gorge that allows the transfer of water from either pipeline to the other. This cross-connection gives security from disruption, by allowing water supply to all parts of the network from more than one source.

  • Modeling Site Effects in the Lower Hutt Valley, New Zealand
    2694 MODELING SITE EFFECTS IN THE LOWER HUTT VALLEY, NEW ZEALAND Brian M ADAMS1, John B BERRILL2, Rob O DAVIS3 And John J TABER4 SUMMARY Lower Hutt City lies atop a wedge of Quaternary sediments forming a long alluvial valley. On its western edge the sediments butt up against the near vertical wall of the potentially active Wellington Fault, capable of an earthquake of moment magnitude 7.6. A two-dimensional linear finite-element method has been used to model the propagation of antiplane SH waves within the soft sediments and surrounding bedrock. The technique has proved to be an efficient and accurate means of modeling fine geological detail. Two detailed geological cross-sections through the Lower Hutt were modeled to gain an overall impression of the valley's seismic behaviour. It was found that horizontally propagating surface waves, generated at the valley edges, are the cause of significant amplification. The aptly named basin-edge effect – speculated to be the cause of a belt of severe shaking during the 1995 Kobe earthquake – is observed in the simulation results, occuring some 70-200 metres out from the fault. Fourier spectral ratios across the valley indicate a behaviour dominated by two-dimensional resonance, and compare favourably in magnitude with previously collected weak motion data. Certain resonant frequencies within the range 0.3-2.5 hertz are amplified up to 14 times that for nearby outcropping bedrock. Results are likely to be conservative due to the linear modeling, yet exclude fault-rupture effects due to the teleseismic nature of the input scheme. INTRODUCTION In this paper we describe our use of a two-dimensional finite-element numerical scheme to simulate ground motions from earthquake shaking in the soft sediments in-filling the Lower Hutt Valley.

  • Background and Issues Paper 2010
    Hutt Corridor Plan Review Background and Issues Paper 2010 Important Note: This is a working paper, the purpose of which was to pull together a range of relevant information and statistics, and to identify relevant studies and policies, to assist the technical group in understanding the current context for the Hutt Corridor Plan review. The information and numbers generally reflect what was available during the earlier stages of the plan’s development during 2010. Significant recent updates on project status are noted throughout the paper. Where newer stats or data have become available since this paper was prepared, it has been used directly in the Draft Plan itself.

The walkway takes in a variety of terrain, including rolling hills, native forest and gentle streams. Below are some of the most popular options. All walking times are for the return trip. Dogs are permitted in the Korokoro, Stratton Street and Dry Creek valleys. Keep them under control and remove droppings. Waterfall Track Moderate grade 1 hour A pleasant scramble for all ages which follows Dry Creek from the park entrance through native bush up towards a small waterfall and back again. Expect wet feet as you cross the stream several times. Flat grassy areas near the start are ideal for picnics. Great for young family groups, especially in summer. Not suitable for buggies. Dogs OK - keep them under control and remove droppings. You can download a map of this walk from the right of this screen. Korokoro Dam Loop Moderate grade 1 hour A walk that takes in the historic Korokoro Dam, regenerating and mature native bush.

  • Wellington Harbour Ferry Service Review 1
    Attachment 1 to Report 07.394 Page 1 of 28 Wellington Harbour Ferry Service Review 1. Purpose To set out the results of a review of the Wellington Harbour Ferry Service. 2. Background The Council currently contracts East by West Ltd to provide a ferry service between Days Bay in Eastbourne and Queens Wharf in Wellington City. This contract will end in November 2007. In order to establish the service specifications for the next contract, a review of the ferry service was completed in May 2007. This report presents the results of the review. 2.1 History of the Wellington Harbour Ferry Service A ferry service between Days Bay and Queens Wharf in Wellington City has been operating since March 1989. This service has been run since that time by East by West Ltd – initially with the WestpacTrust ferry, which in 1990 was replaced with the current “City Cat” catamaran. The original service sailed between Days Bay and Queens Wharf, and in 1995 the route was expanded to include Matiu Somes Island, after the island was opened to the public as a Department of Conservation reserve. In 2002 a review of bus services in Eastbourne, Wainuiomata and Hutt Valley indicated potential for the ferry service to be expanded. Market research conducted in 2003 confirmed this, and concluded that reducing fares on the ferry, providing more frequent and later sailings, and providing more direct buses to the city were the most preferred options to improve public transport in Eastbourne. The option identified as being the most likely to bring new users to passenger transport was providing more frequent and later sailings.

  • Before You Swim Again…
    Is it safe to swim in Wellington and the Hutt Valley? Greater Wellington Regional Council and local councils monitor some of the Wellington region’s most popular beaches and rivers to determine their suitability for recreational activities such as swimming. We monitor eight freshwater and 34 coastal sites In the Wellington and Hutt Valley area. The results from this monitoring are compared to national guidelines and used to calculate an overall grade for each site. Results from the 2014/15 summer season Most of the swimming spots we monitor in Wellington and the Hutt Valley have good water quality. The best sites are Hutt River at Poets Park, Breaker Bay and Princess Bay which have an overall grade of ‘A’ and met the guideline for safe swimming on all occasions. The worst sites are at Island Bay, Owhiro Bay, Rona Bay, Hutt River at Melling and Wainuiomata River at Richard Prouse Park. These sites have an overall grade of ‘D’ and most recorded high bacterial counts on at least two or more occasions. Cyanobacteria (toxic algae) was a problem in some parts of the Hutt River over the summer. Cyanobacteria cover went over national guideline levels twice at Poets Park and three times at Silverstream. Very low risk of illness A 7% (3 sites) Low risk 43% (18 sites) B Moderate risk 33% (14 sites) C Caution 17% D (7 sites) Unsuitable for swimming 0% In the Wellington and Hutt Valley area, 3 sites (7%) are graded ‘A’, 18 sites (43%) are graded ‘B’, 14 sites (33%) are graded ‘C’ and 7 sites (17%) are graded ‘D’.
