May their faith and action be relevant to the needs of the people of this city and may they pause to consider and record the history of which they are a part.

Typesetting by Artspec. Text by Jennifer Jones. Cover Design & Layout by Barrie Eady. 3 ‘On Our Way” is the story of Methodism in the Hutt Valley seen against a background of social change which has continuously affected the past 150 years. The book starts in pre-European times and traces the arrival of various waves of settlers and their attempts to set up churches in their new home. The eleven authors have researched widely over the past two years and provided an insight often lacking in chronological works. Generously illustrated and indexed, this book is a worthwhile addition to the historical records of the people of Lower Hutt. Pitt Henrich, designer and maker of the Pulpit Fall depicted on the cover of I this book, speaks of her work in this way — “This church wanted me to show how their work as Methodists with a tradition of social concern could go out from the church in the Hutt Valley to people everywhere.

  • 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.

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.

No horses allowed in the lower valley and up to Korokoro Dam. Highlight Walk from the sea to the hill tops. Take the easy walk up to the first dam in New Zealand or climb through the bush-clad valley to the trig and enjoy panoramic views from 456 metres high. Description, values & signif icance The valley was once the route linking Porirua and Wellington for Māori. The Māori name Te Korokoro o Te Mana means ‘the throat of Te Mana’, indicating the importance of the stream as a food supply for Māori. The Korokoro Valley and Belmont Regional Park are now well utilised recreationally, catering for mountain bikers, hikers and even horse riders with a network of bridleways. Accessibility/How to get there/particular time of year to visit There are six park entrances on the Lower Hutt side of the hills and two on the other side, near Porirua. Train and bus services (bus number 150) from Wellington City can get you within walking distance of all park entrances. By car, take the Dowse interchange off State Highway 2, then drive along Dowse Drive and onto Oakleigh Street.

  • 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.
