XXX Chairperson’s foreword Wellington’s regional parks are a precious community resource. They are valuable storehouses of biodiversity and a source of great pleasure for the many people who visit them. They provide a scenic backdrop to the urban settings of the Wellington, Hutt, Upper Hutt, and Porirua City Councils’ and the Kapiti Coast District Council. Greater Wellington manages over 50,000 hectares of land in the region, including water catchments and forests, regional parks, and river corridors. This document covers 33,000 hectares of this area and includes five regional parks, Akatarawa and Pakuratahi Forest and Wainuiomata recreation area. Some are adjacent to city parks and trails while several are more remote forest areas. They each have their own special characteristics but they all share certain key qualities. This consolidated network plan is designed to provide a coherent management regime for the network as a whole and specific management provisions for each park. The population of the Wellington Region is growing and aging, and growth in our cities is faster than the national average. Our region is becoming more culturally diverse. All these factors are driving a demand for more, and different recreation experiences close to where people live. In the Wellington Regional Strategy, quality open space is recognised as a fundamental requirement of world class cities and regions. Parks need to be places that are relevant to people. Although there will always be those who value the parks but do not visit them, many use the parks and appreciate the experience they offer. Our aim is to maximise the availability of our parks network to as many sectors of society as possible. People are becoming more aware of the regional parks’ role in conserving vital ecosystems and the merits of linking the open spaces provided around the Region by territorial authorities and the Department of Conservation. Working with the community in developing the range of experiences in our parks will be a core element of the new management regime. There is already a strong identification with, and sense of ownership of our parks and we want to build on this. There are clearly opportunities to develop new recreational and educational experiences and provide for sustainable economic activities where these are compatible with the local ecology and public amenity values. We need to strike a balance between the needs of people and the needs of the environment. This is not always easy. It requires flexibility and imagination and a better public understanding of the interface between human activity and the local ecology. The parks network is expected to grow in future. Greater Wellington Regional Council will shortly assume co-management responsibility for Whitireia Park in Porirua and this will be managed as part of the network.

  • 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’.
