    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…

    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’.

    TAKING the HIGH ROAD: Retrofitting Amenity Onto Urban Arterial Roads by PAUL DEY a 120-Point Thesis Submitted to the Victori

    TAKING THE HIGH ROAD: Retrofitting amenity onto urban arterial roads BY PAUL DEY A 120-point thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture (Professional) Victoria University of Wellington School of Architecture 2017 i How might New Zealand’s urban arterial roads be architecturally retrofitted with improved amenity values to counteract the negative environmental and social effects of high-capacity traffic infrastructure? ii ABSTRACT Amenity values on urban arterial roads are fraught. This is largely due to the traditional traffic capacity versus amenity trade-off. This trade-off implies that high-capacity roads must be inherently deficient in amenity due to issues of air quality, noise nuisance and the physical barrier of streams of traffic. However, a more nuanced position – and one adopted by this thesis - is that arterial roads can be both busy thoroughfares and active, enjoyable destinations. This design-led research explores retrofitting amenity values onto existing arterial roads, creating new spaces and improving qualities of a system not originally constructed with amenity in mind. Cuba Street in Lower Hutt is a regionally significant connector intended for future densified development. In addition to the current link function, this road needs to become more attractive as a destination and address. Consideration at the urban scale encourages broad, strategic planning to support amenity holistically. This urban planning addresses topics like desirable densification, transit- oriented development, walkable centres and how these affect the arterial road condition. In moving from urban-scaled to architectural design, the detailed implementation of the greater policies is tested.
