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.

    Level 3 Chamber of Commerce House 15 Daly Street Lower Hutt Wellington 5010 New Zealand 30 April 2021 Hon Michael Wood Minister of Transport By email; [email protected] Dear Minister, NZ Upgrade Programme – Melling Interchange The Board and membership of the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce and Industry is alarmed and deeply disappointed to read recent media articles regarding the inclusion of Melling Interchange in the Government’s reassessment of infrastructure development projects. As you may be aware the Hutt Valley Chamber has been calling for the re-development of the Melling Interchange with SH2 for many years. As a national roading project the current Melling/SH2 intersection is completely inadequate, causing traffic bottlenecks daily and regular accidents. It is a crucial piece of local infrastructure that is a constant chokepoint for all our businesses trying to move people, materials and products around the valley, the region, and nationally. It is an economic drain on our local Hutt Valley economy as well as the wider Wellington region and continues to get worse every year. However, it is not a stand alone transport project. The redevelopment of the SH2/Melling interchange underpins the greater RiverLink project which completely transforms the Lower Hutt city centre. RiverLink is regarded as a shining example of how Waka Kotahi, the Greater Wellington Regional Council and the Hutt City Council can work collaboratively, leveraging combined budgets to deliver a single project in a cohesive manner. It includes improving public transport to the city centre with upgraded railway infrastructure, new active transport modes with cycling and walking, as well as enabling new housing options for city centre residents.

    Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf

    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

    1 Neal Swindells Practical & Principled Independent Educational Consultant Email: [email protected] 1 July 2021 Report to the Ministry of Education on the Community Consultation Regarding Proposed Changes to the Heretaunga College Enrolment Scheme: May - June 2021 Summary Following a meeting with Shelley Govier, Lead Adviser Network, and Jeena Baines, Network Analyst, at the Ministry of Education Wellington Regional Office and meeting with the Principal of Heretaunga College, Fiona Craven, I launched the consultation on the proposed changes to the Enrolment Scheme for Heretaunga College on May 24th, 2021. The consultation took the form of a letter emailed to both the Presiding Chairs and Principals of 16 state and state integrated schools in the Upper Hutt area. These schools included the two state secondary schools; Heretaunga College and Upper Hutt College; the two Intermediate Schools, Maidstone Intermediate and Fergusson Intermediate; and all the state primaries as well as the two Catholic State Integrated primary schools in the area. The letter had links to the proposed changes to the Enrolment Scheme and maps showing the proposed changes. I then offered Heretaunga College, Upper Hutt College, the two Intermediate schools and St Joseph’s School a short communique designed to be sent to parents / whanau and asked them to send these out to their community to try to ensure all Year 8 parents in the district were aware of the proposed changes and the consultation process. I had a number of conversations with the acting Principal at Maidstone Intermediate whose pupils were likely to be the most directly affected group. Both Maidstone Intermediate and Heretaunga College published the proposed changes to their whole community.

    Newsletter January 2015

    Friends of Baring Head Newsletter Visit us on line at http://www.baringhead.org.nz/ or follow us on Facebook January 2015 Number 9 Message from the Chair The regional park at Baring Head provides visitors with all sorts of recreation activities as well as opportunities for volunteer workers to protect and enhance the environment. For some time now the Friends have been thinking how to allow visitors and volunteers to combine their involvement in both of these interests and the first trip we’ve arranged for summer 2014/15 showed us this approach has real possibilities. The Friends arranged with a four-wheel drive group, the Cross Country Group, to transport people over to the Fitzroy Bay beach from the bridge car-park for a small charge. Available seats were in great demand, with some people having to be asked to wait for trips later in the summer. Many of those lucky enough to claim a seat hadn’t previously been to Baring Head and some weren’t even sure where it was! The first part of the trip was to the coast where, after an introductory talk and a chance to look at a new beachcombing booklet (see below in Finding out about what your beachcombing turns up) visitors were able to walk along the beach, finding treasures, removing horned poppy and picking up rubbish. The much- reduced horned poppy density is obvious along the sections of the beach that have been tackled – good work previous visitors and volunteers! On this occasion, more of the weed was cleared, particularly further south and near the climbing rocks.
