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.

  • Hutt Valley Housing Announcement
    Q&A – Hutt Valley housing announcement What is being announced today? Housing New Zealand is going to build and refurbish more than 700 houses in the Hutt Valley over the next five years. This is made up of: New builds – up to 330 homes Building 30 homes in Naenae, Taita and Waterloo at a cost of about $9.5 million - construction underway Commencing master planning for up to 300 homes across four Lower Hutt sites in Epuni and Naenae are being explored (will be a mix of social, affordable and market). Refurbishment – 383 homes Investing around $67.3 million to retrofit 323 homes across large buildings and 60 standalone or single houses in the Hutt Valley to make them warm and dry and bring them up to standard Why now? The Hutt Valley is a growing community where there has been a significant increase in demand for social housing over the last 18 months. The removal of older buildings for fire damage or earthquake risk provides an opportunity to respond to this demand, while also increasing the overall supply of housing and driving urban regeneration, like the development in Pomare. Housing New Zealand’s Hutt Valley stock is also amongst the oldest in its portfolio across the country. The refurbishment programmes will renew these homes to ensure Hutt Valley’s social housing tenants live in warm, dry and fit-for-purpose homes. How much is this costing? Project Cost 30 homes on four vacant sites in About $9.5 million Naenae, Taita and Waterloo Up to 300 potential homes across four To be confirmed by master plan Lower Hutt sites 383 homes to be retrofitted to make $67.3 million: made up $61 million for them warm and dry, and bring them 323 units in large buildings, and a up to standard further $6.3 million for 60 standalone homes/units in smaller buildings New builds programme Where are the four initial development sites, what kinds of homes is Housing New Zealand building, and when will the homes be completed? Site works are commencing immediately at four sites in Lower Hutt to provide 30 new social houses at a cost of around $9.5 million.

  • Distribution of Geological Materials in Lower Hutt and Porirua, New Zealand a Component of a Ground Shaking Hazard Assessment
    332 DISTRIBUTION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS IN LOWER HUTT AND PORIRUA, NEW ZEALAND A COMPONENT OF A GROUND SHAKING HAZARD ASSESSMENT G. D. Dellow1 , S. A. L. Read 1 , J. G. Begg1 , R. J. Van Dissen1 , N. D. Perrin1 ABSTRACT Geological materials in the Lower Hutt, Eastbourne, Wainuiomata, and Porirua urban areas are mapped and described as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment of seismic ground shaking hazards. Emphasis is mainly on the flat-lying parts of these areas which are underlain by variable Quaternary-age sediments that overlie Permian-Mesowic age 'greywacke' bedrock. Within the Quaternary-age sediments, the two material types recognised on strength characteristics are: 1) Soft sediments, typically composed of normally consolidated, fine-grained materials (sand, silt and clay), with typical standard penetration values (SPT) of <20 blows/300 mm; and 2) Loose to compact coarser-grained materials (sand, gravel), with SPT values of > 20 blows/ 300 mm. The total thickness and nature of Quaternary-age sediments in the study areas is described, with particular emphasis on the thickness and geotechnical properties of near-surface sediments. Such sediments are considered likely to have a significant influence on the an1plification and attenuation of ground shaking intensity during earthquakes. In the Lower Hutt valley, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of -16 kni. Such soft sediments underlie much of Petone and the Lower Hutt urban and city centres, and have a maximum known thickness of 27 m near the western end of the Petone foreshore. In the Wainuiomata area, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of - 3 krn2, and attain a maximum thickness of 32 m.
