Every five years, communities are required to re-apply; and it is now Porirua’s turn. Porirua City Council, as the lead agency, has formally endorsed its commitment to applying for reaccreditation as an International Safe Community on behalf of the city. In doing so, the Council is committed to working closely with the wide range of community organisations that contribute to this being a safer community. Porirua City Council and its residents are very proud of our city and we all want it to be a safe city for our children, families and whanau, and visitors. Porirua has a culture of working collaboratively that includes Council, a wide range of community organisations, government services and the wider community. Like the original application, this application embodies that spirit of collaboration and again demonstrates the spirit and passion of this community. It includes how programmes that were identified in the first application have developed and new, innovative projects that have been established in the last 5 years, all of which enhance safety in the city. As Mayor, I am proud to support this application and to advise you of Porirua City Council’s continued commitment to our support of Porirua as an internationally accredited safe city.

The Safe Community model focuses on working collaboratively to ensure that community safety initiatives, particularly in the areas of road safety, injury prevention, emergency management and crime prevention make a positive change for our city and for our community. We are fortunate in Porirua to have many dedicated community organisations and activists who are focused on making our city great, as well as a city council that is committed to making a positive difference in these areas.

They are representative of the main organisations working to achieve the goals of an International Safe Community, and have strong relationships and networks with many other community groups that share the same goals. I support the Group building on and enhancing the work done to date over the next five years.

  • PLIMMERTON FARM SUBMISSION | K BEAMSLEY Page 1
    PLIMMERTON FARM – PLAN CHANGE PROPOSAL Supporting Documentation View from Submitters Property Karla and Trevor Beamsley 24 Motuhara Road Plimmerton PLIMMERTON FARM SUBMISSION | K BEAMSLEY Page 1 1. INTRODUCTION The village of Plimmerton is a northern suburb of Porirua, and is surrounded to the North and East by farmland. It represents the edge of existing residential dwellings. Generally existing homes are stand-alone dwellings on lots greater than 500m² in size. Most residents within Plimmerton and Camborne either commute into Wellington city or work from home. The demand for housing in this area is from professional couples or families looking for 3 – 4 bedroom family homes on a section with space for kids to run around in, not medium or high density three-storey buildings and apartments, this is reflected in the TPG report to PCC (Dec 2019). Medium density style townhouses, or apartments would be totally out of character of the surrounding residential areas, and would present a stark contrast to the remaining rural areas which bound the site. The Plimmerton Farm site is not located close to areas of high employment, nor is it close to local amenities like the main shopping areas of Porirua. The site is also not located within an area currently supported by existing infrastructure. Much of the infrastructure in the area is aging, and requires repair or upgrade to support existing demands. Therefore, the idea that Plimmerton Farm would provide homes in a location close to employment, amenities and infrastructure1 is simply incorrect in terms of a 10-year time frame. Areas where this would be true include the currently developing areas of Aotea, Whitby, Kenepuru, and Porirua East.

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038.

My name is John Christopher Horne. 2. I was asked to assess the potential effects of the proposal on recreational use in the area. I have restricted my consideration to use by walkers and runners, as I do not have relevant expertise in relation to mountain biking, kayaking, angling and other recreational uses. 3. I do not have a formal qualification relevant to this area of expertise. 4. I have extensive experience in undertaking and managing recreational activities in the area. I am involved in two organisations that provide support for recreational activities, the Tararua Tramping Club, and Wellington Botanical Society (WBS). 5. I have participated in WBS field trips in: • the bush block, Battle Hill Farm Forest Park • Cannons Creek Covenant, Belmont Regional Park/Waitangirua Farm. 6. I have led numerous tramps across Belmont Regional Park, between the Hutt Valley and Porirua Basin. Each of these traverses have involved crossing the Waitangirua Farm section of Belmont Regional Park, using one of the following routes across the designation for the proposed TGP: • Track over pasture from Cannons Head, 390 m, in the headwaters of Cannons Creek, to near Takapu Road sub-station, then on old farm road through regenerating forest to the west side of Cannons Creek Covenant, then on an old farm road to the Cannons Creek Lakes, and footpath to Warspite , Waitangirua.

  • Draft Regional Passenger Transport Plan Dr Tr
    Draft Regional Passenger Draft Regional Passenger Transport Plan Transport Plan November 2006 November 2006 Foreword A Clear Direction in Changing Times Our Council is launching its Regional Passenger Transport Plan in changing times. We saw a dramatic increase in the numbers of passengers on both trains and buses during the past year. Unusually, there was even more growth in peak times than at off-peak times. A big question is whether this kind of growth will be sustained? The plan which follows sets a clear direction. Our Vision is for “a public transport network that helps people get around the region easily”. A key goal is to increase public transport’s share of all journeys. This is a testing target. Two other goals reinforce our vision. They seek an “accessible and integrated” network, and the “socially and environmentally sustainable economic development of the region.” The New Zealand Transport Strategy – Responsiveness v Affordability This strategy is the major Government transport policy document. It calls for a sustainable transport system that is also affordable, integrated, safe and responsive to our needs. The aim of the plan which follows is to be “responsive”. Our Council has the difficult task of determining how it may also be “affordable”. We will continue monitoring passenger usage carefully; then act only where a clear and established trend indicates action is needed. Our ten year financial plan for 2006-16 does already provide for a very considerable investment in rail rolling stock and other infrastructure. The overall passenger transport expenditure allowed for in that plan has significant effects on fares, rates and borrowing.
